Their older siamang Bento died. He was imported in 1994 from Indonesia and was already adult when he arrived and of unknown age. His 10-years old son stays in Olomouc and the zoo asks EEP-coordinator to send a female for him.
Male musk-ox Odin (8) arrived from Cologne zoo (Cologne gives up this species alltogether and Odin was their last animal). He has been already let into pen with resident female Ragna (4).
The zoo moved their newest Giant anteater on show in Southern American pavilion. The youngster of unknown sex was born in March this year but lived with its mother off-show till now.

Two yellow-cheeked gibbons were born to 2 resident breeding pairs (that live in their outdated monkey house) last year. One baby born on 4th June and one baby born on 22nd December.
The mother of the older baby is called Milouš and this is I think her sixth birth already. Milouš was found at wildlife market in Vietnam by a Czech tourist who felt pity over half-dead baby and he bought her and smuggled on way home. This was in "wild early 1990s" when our country didnt belong under CITES laws. She grew up in his household, kept like a human baby, in clothes and everything, but became aggresive when reaching puberty. So she got donated to nearest zoo - Hluboká. There she lived short time, alone and in very cramped cage so the zoo searched for better place. After genetic testing that proved her subspecies, she was sent to Olomouc and paired with a male.

Are there a lot of zoos in Europe breeding black wildebeests? As I understand it, there isn't an EEP.
Not many zoos keep and breed the species. It´s aggressive nature makes it unpopular for mixed savanas and it also poses danger to keepers. Just a few stubborn zoos that refuse to let go keep it going.

I hope they continue to do so. This is of course, only if they can guarantee the safety of all animals and zookeepers.
and God bless them for doing so
