Hello everybody

At first, thank you ALL for reading my previous journal about the Velvet revolution. I expected only few readers, but you posted so many comments with your own opinions and so you really surprised me and pleased me, thank you

due to advice of one deviant, I posted the Velvet revolution journal as a
NEW ARCTICLE 
so if you want to help me to spread this info, you can fav it or you can post a link to the article in your journal

but of course, only if you want. I am already very pleased with your reaction thank you very much for interest

The animal quiz is prepared and I really wanted to post it today, as I promised. But yesterday, something very bad happened in one Czech ZOO, so I decided to share some news from Czech ZOOs today. Of course you can find also animal photos in this journal.
Animal quiz will FOR SURE come next time!
Czech ZOOs news I am very sad to announce death of female white tiger called Isabella from ZOO Liberec

the star and a symbol of whole ZOO died in an accident yesterday. Two lions, Sultan and Elsa, managed to get into her exhibit and they attacked the tigress, who had no chance to defend herself. She was killed. Isabella was almost 17 years old, so she was really a granny. She founded breeding of white tigers in Liberec and she was also the only female, who gave birth to white kittens in my country. Nobody has been blamed for this tragical event, as keepers were doing everything right and whole system worked properly for many years. Goodbye, wonderful Isabella

I am happy, that you at least gave birth to kittens, who now have their own kittens, so you managed to did, what you were supposed to do

rest in peace.

Moreover, ZOO Liberec has more reasons to mourn. Only few days before the sad death of Isabella, ZOO lost also their only male of South American sea lion. His name was Nico and he died during surgery. He ate huge stone which was thrown to his pool by stupid visitor or by chimpanzees from neighbouring exhibit. I guess that it is a blame of some stupid visitor, who wanted to showboat himself

Nico ate this huge stone and then he was not able to eat ZOO started surgery to save him, but this kind of medical care is always very difficult for sea mammals

and Nico did not make it. Bye, Nico

at least you fathered wonderful daughter

OK, lets finish the bad news. As I have already told you, lion Leon from ZOO Usti nad Labem mated with his sister (!) Ronja, who then gave birth to three wonderful heathy cubs. But few weeks ago, two of them died

althought they were vaccinated, they got some very serious illness ZOO was trying to save them, but they were finally euthanized

only one cub now stays with her parents

Now lets be more optimistic! ZOO Zlin managed to keep all three Amur tiger cubs alive

they are still with their mother, they are healthy, active and playful and very soon they will enter the outside exhibit for the first time!
Czech republic has quite a big chance to see the first elephant baby born in our country! Two Asiatic elephants from ZOO Ostrava are pregnant for sure, while the one in Usti nad Labem was artificially inseminated only few days ago, so we must wait to know, if she is really pregnant. The father is the same in all three cases, his name is Calvin

Paccery babies were born in ZOO Brno

there are two of them

more over, ZOO Brno started keeping new species: flying foxes and jaguarundi

In these days, ZOO Olomouc is finishing huge new enclosure for American black bears and for arctic wolves both species will live together!
And other good new from ZOO Brno female polar bear Cora is already closed in the box, where she is ready to give birth! ZOO started online camera today, so you can check our belove Cora from your sofa

Internet explorer and Mozilla Firefox are functional at least

And I also promised to show you new pool for fur seals in ZOO Prague

fur seals used to have quite big, but shallow tank and ZOO decided to build much bigger one. Here you can see the photos of the exhibit.
Fur seal
Whole complex
Seats for people, who want to watch feeding of fur seals.
The pool!

it is so huge

I love the shape, I love the clear water and I like, that we can watch seals throught the glass also underwater!
There is also special place with glass windows for watching animals underwater

here is the deepest part of the pool 230 cm

I expected the tank to be much deeper, but well, maybe this is deep enough

You can go upstairs...

And there is also a small exhibit for yellow mongoose

Nice exhibit, is not it?

Next time animal quiz!
