    Breeding male Salem (9) from Stuttgart, older breeding female Rose (11) imported from Saint Louis, their daughter Anička (3). Ndari (7) - a breeding female from South Lakes and now that little one still without name.

    That babirusa who died in 2019 was old non-breeding female Johanka, born in Děčín.

    Recently a male Nile lechwe (Kobus megaceros) arrived from Zoo Zlin on recommendation of the EEP breeding program coordinator. I am not 100% sure whether they received 1 or multiple males, could someone confirm this?

    Jihlava has maintained a breeding herd since early 2010's. You have to interpret the Czech in the singular as far as male(s) is concerned. Effectively, the zoo has received a new breeding male (as Zlin holds the species too).

    The cat house has been opened to visitors again. Sri Lankan leopard pair Manny (14, born at Jihlava) and Aruni (4, from Brno) have a litter of 2 cubs circa 3 weeks old, unsexed. The mother is calm and cubs started to leave their box and so visitors are allowed in again.

    4 Long-eared hedgehogs have been born! I am not sure which species, because ZTL mentions Jihlava as holder of both the Hemiechinus auritus and Egypt hedgehog (Hemiechinus auritus aegypticus).
