Pygmy marmosets were in the South America House, in the exhibit that previously held gray short-tailed opossum. There are still some individuals in the Monkey House, so the zoo now keeps two groups of them.

Actually, the new pair of pygmy marmosets is another species, the eastern pygmy marmoset! Those kept in the primate house are western pygmy marmosets.

25 Rodrigues flying foxes left Olomouc zoo to zoos in Netherlands and Switzerland. It seems that Olomouc has now the 2nd largest captive colony of this species in the world after Chester Zoo - 77 bats. Source : 37K views · 374 reactions | 25 kaloňů odcestovalo z naší zoo do světa - konkrétně do Holandska a do Švýcarska! Jak to vypadá při takovém odchytu? Všichni kaloni se musí velmi opatrně pochytat - zkontrolovat čip, načipovat nová mláďata a naočkovat na vzteklinu. Po precizním zapsání do evidence jsme zjistili, že Pavilon netopýrů obývá 77 jedinců! Zoo Olomouc je tedy po Zoo Chester největší chovatel těchto savců na světě! ️Přijďte se na ně podívat do Pavilonu netopýrů a kaloňům, kteří se vydali na své životní dobrodružství přejeme, ať se jim v novém domově líbí! #zooolomouc #zoo #eaza #chiroptera #flyingfox | ZOO Olomouc
