    Zlin now has Andean condors again. They are in off-show area for now, their aviary will be part of the new Jaguar exhibit.

    According to ZTL, Zlin-Lesna received 1.2 Northern screamer (Chauna chavaria). Does anyone know where they got them from?

    I would like to know if the zoo will succeed to import 1,1 jaguars from Brazil or not. Their new exhibit should open in spring 2020 and still no animals in sight. Maybe the zoo wil just source animals from Europe and be done with it.

    On the other hand, if there is a zoo capable to of doing it, it's Zlin.

    This is absolutely sensational news. I can say that I really didn't expect it anymore. This means that at the age of 26, he will have his first calf. Let's hope it turns out well. I really didn't expect her to reproduce. Big congratulations to the Zlín Zoo, few zoos will be able to breed two cows older than twenty years.

    The new outdoor exhibit for elephants is finished and Elephants are now slowly getting to know it...

    The zoo is now waiting on the decision if they'll be allowed to continue with the construction of the new Elephant barn, or if they will have to postpone it. The City council should inform them in June.

    Truly sensational! Probably the first pregnant transsexual elephant on record; the LGBTQIA+ elephant community will be delighted. :p:D;)

    Apparently, it's not the bold liberal elephant in a conservative country...

    Jesus! Such a mistake! That's awful! Since I'm not completely excellent in English, I check it on the translator. And he probably rewrote it somehow !!:eek::eek::eek::eek:

    @Elephantelephant Ah, it's not that bad. ;) Your translation program seems to advocate a genderfluid approach, given how it switched to the female form in the next sentence. :p

    1,0 Great hornbill (Buceros bicornis) hatched on 19th March. Once he grows, he will go with his older brother (hatched 2018) to Singapore.

    Hand-reared chick again?

    I hope Zlín will get nice animals in exchange from Singapore.
