    I suppose the Praha animals are on short term loan out untill exhibits are cleaned up and able to receive animals back in the lower Praha Zoo?

    New offspring in the house

    The zoo has twin pygmy marmoset youngters in their tropical house.

    Clouded leopard pair has fresh twins as well.

    And the new "retirement exhibit", inhabited by two old female sloths and a 22-years-old white-faced saki, got unexpectedly ritcher by a sloth baby. The zoo received two adult wild-caught sloths in 1999 and called them Mama and Tata. Between 2001 and 2011, they had 8 youngs and all but the last survived and have been sent to other zoos. The last young was week and died soon and in 2012, she had a fake pregnancy. The zoo deemed Mama as getting old and retired her into a separate exhibit, that she shares with another sloth, more then 30 years old female that was evacuated in June from Prague zoo and an old saki. But Mama was already pregnant again and now she can be seen with a baby on her belly.

    The zoo received Horácio and Miriam from Plzeň zoo. He is a young Prehensile-tailed porcupine (Coendou prehensilis), she is a young Bolivian night monkey (Aotus azarae boliviensis). They were born in a mixed exhibit and now in Ústí they stay together in one room in the exotárium house too.

    The newest litter of clouded leopards contains 4 cubs. They are one month old and still in the box with mother.

    I though Vienna held Northern Luzon Cloud Rat? Or do/did they have Southerns off show somewhere in addition?

    There are Northern Luzon Cloud Rats living in the Borneo pavilion in the former Prevost Squirrels enclosure in Usti Zoo. AFAIK, there are no Southern Luzon Cloud Rats in Vienna, neither being kept off show.

    I am surprised there are still chicks being hatched in Ústí. Because their pair is very productive for many years now. It must be heavily overrepresented genetically in european zoo population.

    The resident pair produced two Himalayan griffon vulture (Gyps himalayensis) chicks. One is hand-reared and one is adopted at Liberec zoo. The first breeding for Czech zoos.
