Does Olomouc still keep any African Civets? and if so, how many?

Apart from a very old male in a Italian Zoo I believe only Olomouc keep this species in Europe.

Their annual report says their pair (1.1) was still alive at 31.12.2008. I think they never reared any offspring, but at least in the year 2007 the female had a miscarriage (litter of 2 youngs).

Olomouc zoo is building a new enclosures for Baribal bear and Arctic wolves. It is interesting that both species will share the enclosure. Just the wolves will have a small separated part where they will have the possibility to breed. Do you know something like this from other zoos? How this joining works?
 
The similar exhibit is doing quite well in Wildpark Lüneburger Heide and in year 2005 I saw nice exhibit in Berlin Zoo, there live brown bears together with arctic wolves, as I remember, they share two enclosures and the bears have access in only one of these enclosures, but the wolves can share both, in Heide there are together Kodiak bears with arctic wolves too.
 
Woburn has a drive through exhibit for American black bear and Canadian timber wolves
 
I would also list the excellent Bear Forest at Rhenen's Ouwehands Dierenpark. They have had brown bears and European wolves roam a large exhibit for yonkers years.
 
Last month, KARA a giant anteater was born. Her parents are Sylvin and Pia.

Olomouc imported 2 giant anteaters in 2004 directly from S.America (wildcaught). They were believed to be a pair but have never bred. An examination revealed they were actually 2 males so that MIREK was sent to Dortmund in exchange for the young PIA. Their first daughter SAFIRA was born in 2011 and later has been sent to Zlín-Lešná. Their second daughter ROXI was born in 2012 and still lives in Olomouc.
