The old waterfowl pavilion reconstruction starts next week. After a total rebuilding/enlarging it will become "An evolution pavilion", with modern enclosures for chimps, Diana mokeys, red river hogs, guerezas, different african reptiles, frogs, fish etc. The money (9 mio USD) were secured largely from european union fonds.
The old house looks like this now:

The elephant calf is a female.
Yesterday, it has been separated for a short time from Vishesh and tube-fed. Today, it started to willingly drink from a bottle, offered through the barriere. Keepers try everything possible that the calf would start to feed from Vishesh.

The Caribbean flamingo colony started its courthip displays much earlier then in other years. The group consists of 49 birds right now (there are also a few chicks (4?) at Zlin zoo that hatched last years from adopted Ostrava´s eggs and should return home so the group will grow).
