African panorama at Prague zoo

African panorama exhibit (4,7 ha) with Rotshild giraffe, Grant zebra, ostrich, eland, Kafue lechwe, blesbok, scimitar oryx, addax (and sable antelope soon) at Prague zoo, September 2008.

Beautiful habitat and collection of animals!

yeah its fantastic! the huge exhibit & the mix of animals too!
it seems the giraffes breed well in those good conditions, in Budapest we have 2 young giraffe ladys comes from Praha.

Surely there is a way to allow a tree to grow in such an exhibit? It seems we see allot of these big european and american exhibits. Yet they donnt seem to have trees???

Would the giraffes not eat them unless they found a good way to protect the trees from them?

wouldn't oryx and addax crossbreed?

@Daktari JG
Oryxes on that picture were all castrated (old animals that were being phased-out), addaxes were a bachelor group. Both species are no longer kept with giraffes (addaxes still live in a breeding herd in their regular pen near kasuars, oryxes have since all died).
