Moscow zoo Moscow zoo

Does anybody know if Moscow Zoo still has their Dolphins and Beluga Whales? Also, does anybody have a photo of their Giant Pandas?
 
The dolphins and belugas belonged to the private dolphinarium that was leasing the zoo's land.
They left the zoo in 2014-2015.
And panda photos can be googled easily :)

Young elephant bull Filimon that was born in 2017 is planned to be sent to Tashkent zoo (Uzbekistan) for 20 year old female.
That seems completely unnecessary to me. Putri will soon be too old for the calf and Filimon is still too young, he may have his first offspring in 8 years. Plus, I don't think Tashkent has good conditions for elephants. :(
 
No zoo in Russia wants a bull. Besides Rostov (they should have replaced a bull even before inbreeding started, and Sitara would be pregnant soon) the rest of Russian zoos have cows unsuitable for breeding - Ekaterinburg (Dasha, 40), Kaliningrad (Pregolja, 50), Gelendzhik (Chani, 57), and recently Taigan safari park in Crimea got 2 cows (Jenny, 47 & Magda, 45) that were retired from circus after fighting on show. Kazan zoo is planning to keep only Africans (likely those with tusklessness/small tusk genes that should not be bred at all). Moscow Zoo doesn't work with circuses and Russian trainers avoid bulls (Ecol's fate would be better if she was born with another gender).
