How can you put bharals there?
I have no idea, I was in shock when I saw the sign.

Well, I think there were other hoofstock in past? (barbary sheeps) not saying its good idea...
Is it possible these are animals from Prague?
 
A new species arrived and is on show - a pair of night monkeys (Aotus azarae boliviensis). They live mixed with lowland pacas.

Another new species is expected to arrive later this year - red-mantled saddle-back tamarins (Leontocebus lagonotus).

Their last giraffe - bull Paul - has been transported to Dvur Kralove yesterday. The zoo will receive 3 new young Rotschilds giraffe bulls in next few weeks.

Their exhibit has capacity only for 3 animals, and while they probably hoped to maybe get approval to keep a small breeding herd instead of bachelors herd from the coordinator, it didnt happen.

This unfortunately leaves Jihlava zoo with empty giraffe pen, maybe their main attraction for public, in the most busy part of the year - July+August usually generate almost 50% of annual income. This is because the transport of Paul got delayed twice - in second half of 2024 due to blue tongue (Dvur was inside the BT zone, Jihlava outside the zone), and in early 2025 Dvur stopped all transports once again because of foot and mouth precautions.
 
Arrival of 1 Mexican Beaded Lizard from Brno Zoo.
I listened to the podcast. The new arrival is +20 years old male, 3 kg heavy, on temporary loan from Brno. His purpose is to test the newly refurbished tank - if it´s suitable for this species. And if he prospers living there, Jihlava will receive a bunch of babies that were bred by Plzen zoo.
