ZooChat Challenge (Global) 2019

Thank you. I was shocked they closed this collection. All animals are on show at Biopark Štít but I have doubts its good zoo. Terárium Dubeč had issues with young wild cats kept as attraction for visitors (free walking, I saw Serval during my visit). I am afraid Biopark Štít is worse.

I could not find them, then this short kid runs over and points one out to me. Sometimes being short helps, especially with herp displays

Glad to see you couldn't find the Fire Salamanders either! Is there a reason for listing the tomato frogs as False rather than Madagascan?

 

I just went by what zootierliste said! I'll be honest, I haven't really looked at the signage of the exhibit in the past 3 years. Does the signage say they're Dyscophus antongilii?
