Tiergarten Schönbrunn News from Schonbrunn

What is the current make-up of the giraffe (reticulated pure-bred?) herd at Schoenbrunn?
(I would like to know names and ages of the FF any M/F calves)

The currently have:
0.1 Carla, born 1999 in Dvur Kralove, hybrid, since 2006 in Vienna, mother of Rita
0.1 Rita, born 2005 in Dvur Kralove, hybrid, since 2006 in Vienna, doughter
0.1 Fleur, born 2015 in Rotterdam, pure-breed reticulated, since 2017 in Vienna
0.1 Sofie, born 2015 in Rotterdam, pure-breed reticulated, since 2017 in Vienna
0.1 Amari, born 2022 in Vienna, doughter of Fleur and Obi, pure-breed

The last few years the zoo bred with Obi, Fleur and Sofie since 2022 first calf, Amari. Since the birth of Amari there were at least 4 other pregnancies, 2 from Fleur und 2 from Sofie and Sofie seems to pregnant again, at least I think she gained a lot of weight again, she had another calf last year in Sommer, which did not make it very long.
 
Giraffe "Sophie" left the zoo to the Usti Zoo. So there are left in Vienna:

0.1 Carla, born 1999 in Dvur Kralove, hybrid, since 2006 in Vienna, mother of Rita
0.1 Rita, born 2005 in Dvur Kralove, hybrid, since 2006 in Vienna, doughter
0.1 Fleur, born 2015 in Rotterdam, pure-breed reticulated, since 2017 in Vienna
0.1 Amari, born 2022 in Vienna, doughter of Fleur and Obi, pure-breed
 
So, today the zoo posted another update for the Vienna-giraffes. That said, they announced, that the want to have another bull in the future. My question is, who should that be? Does anyone of you have an idea?
