So the beaded lizard that will arrive in Brno from Pilsen are Rio fuerte beaded lizards (Heloderma exasperatum). For some reason, in Czech zoos (Pilsen, Ustí nad Labem...) they are still refered to as a subspecies of Mexican beaded lizard.

Same is done by ZTL, maybe Czech establishments prefer to be a bit more conservative for a period of time? Like most other establishments to be honest, and anyway they're managed separately so no harm is done.
That they use ZTl taxonomy makes sense. But not using species that has been recognized 12 years ago is a little too conservative taxonomy for me (especially considering how soon many zoos implemented other taxonomic changes, like starting labeling their Rothchild´s giraffes as Nubian).

Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium on Instagram: "Meet Patty & Linda! Two adorable pufflings have successfully hatched and fledged the nest this season. As young tufted puffins, pufflings start out with darker feathers and beaks than the bright colors adults are known for, helping them stay camouflaged and safe as they grow. #puffin #puffling #chick #pointdefiancezoo #pdza #zoo #aquarium #birdsofinstagram"

Both exhibits for snow leopards and one for Sri Lanka leopad are going to be reconstructed. It´s mostly a reconstruction of safety features, so no enlargement or major changes of the exhibits can be expected. Zoo will also build a new children playground instead of old one.

Zoo Jihlava is closed because of avian flu. Two young wild mute swans that were found dead in the zoo had positive tests. Another 15 mute swans and greylag geese living in the same pond as dead swans had to be put down to prevent spreading the disease. Pond in the zoo is going to be dried out, to prevent wild waterbirds spending time in the zoo. The zoo should be open on Saturday.
