When the first pup was born, the exhibit remained boarded-off far longer than a month. Hard to guess if the current pup will be on-show during your visit.
The zoo has announced the female pangopup will be "babtized" on 28th of July. I assume it means that it will be on show starting that day or maybe few days earlier.

Are there any pangolins onshow currently?
Yes. Only that single section with mother and pup is off-show.

Thats’ a relief, I was dreading that I might have missed them. Hugely relieved to see this is not the case.
Four - one male and three females, two of which were born at the zoo
June list of arrivals and births is online:
- female fossa from Duisburg
- male southern pig-tailed macaque from Arnhem
- 1.2 spot-billed pelicans from Zlin
Selection of more interesting births:
- 3 chicks of Egyptian vulture, palm cockatoo, yellow-hooded blackbird, rufous-cheeked laughingthrush, crested oropendola, 2x Visayan tarictic hornbills, several African open-bills and greater flamingo chicks, magpie geese, nominate song trush, Edwards's fig parrot, 2 jaguarundi cubs, female white-lipped deer, black-and-rufous sengi, smooth snakes, giant Asian pond turtle.
The zoo´s also published pics of a blue crane chick that got adopted by red-crowned crane pair, but this chick is missing on their list, it had to hatch only in July.

Is there another chick with another red-crowned pair then? I got this (fairly terrible) photo during a visit on the 20th June:
If not it's a little odd it's not on the list. The fossa likely arrived after this as well.

Have a couple of questions as I'll be visiting soon enough now:
Are the black and rufous sengi back on-show? And are the majority of the laughingthrushes listed on ZTL on-show, and if so, predominantly where? I'd imagine Sichuan and the South-East Asian birds bit right?

I liked seeing the clouded leopards at Prague Zoo

There's still one left, from what I know it's an old individual likely to see out its days in Prague.
cerperal,
your pic shows a blue crane chick (red-crowned crane chick at that age would have reddish-mottled body color). Thus, yes, it is missing from published birth list.
amur leopard,
I can´t help with sengis. But re laughtingtrushes, almost all species from ZTL are on-show. 3 species are in SE-Asian bird aviaries, 2 species are inside aviary in front of Sichuan and the remaining ones are inside Sichuan house.

Both javan and clouded? Thats new info for me.
There is possibility for return of this species with refurbishment of plains, I think
That really is too bad. Both Javan and clouded leopard reserve far more attention from zoos in the EAZA region and the populations are both not developping satisfactorily.

Hey there!
I've visited Prague Zoo for the first time two months ago, and I'll be back there with a friend in two weeks. I wanted to know something about some species I didn't see last time (if they're still at the zoo, where can we find them and what are the best hours to see them), here's the list:
BEST TIME TO SEE THEM
Thanks in advance to whoever will answer to these questions
