The best carnivore cupThe objective of another creative competition was making a hand-made cup with a carnivore design. In thiscase, the main prize was highly attractive as well - a tour to Croatia for two persons donated by VITKOVICETOURS (travel agency), which eventually came to Veronika Kristkova for her cup with a wolf muzzle design thatwas winning for its smart context; however, selecting a single winner from the number of nice and originaldesigns was not that easy. Each of the contest cups was designated for sale to zoo visitors for a symbolicalprice of 100 CZK, with proceeds forwarded to support the EAZA campaign.To conclude, I would like to thank all those supporting the scheme - VITKOVICE TOURS for providing the tour toCroatia, the Charlie Straight members performing without claiming a royalty, Hitradio ORION for their mediapromotion and partnership, all contestants and everyone supporting carnivores in terms of funding. Last butnot least, I thank to all colleagues who took part in the preparation of the Year of Carnivores at <strong>Ostrava</strong> <strong>Zoo</strong>.40
Historical increase in the number of animals at <strong>Ostrava</strong> <strong>Zoo</strong>Jiří NovákThroughout its history, every zoo will experience better and harder times. Current visitors of the Moravian-Silesian metropolis can, dare I say, enjoy the positive-toned years right now. The more and the longer <strong>Ostrava</strong><strong>Zoo</strong> lagged behind their companion zoos in the Czech and Slovak Republics as well as European and globaltrends, the greater effort has been developed by <strong>Ostrava</strong> <strong>Zoo</strong> personnel very recently - of course this beingbacked by the necessary support of the zoo's founder.The development (with regard to animals) paradoxically began with rather unpopular measures in termsof visitors. Throughout the long history, selection of only a small number of groups (orders) of birds andmammals was kept and presented to the public, with felines, bears and anseriform birds being the mostfamous taxa, and popularity among the audience being won through several large mammals kept and bred.However, holding the latter is something that must meet many pre-requisites, including extraordinaryamounts of capital invested in breeding facilities and exhibits, to name a few. As no funding like that wasavailable, species like the polar bear (Ursus maritimus), Kodiak bear (Ursus arctos middendorffi) and Indianelephant (Elephas maximus) were housed under conditions that will not survive as things stand. And asfinding enough money to remedy was not possible within a short time following the zoo's self-reflection,the zoo management opted for the only sensible way - slight reduction of the large mammal stock held insub-standard situations. For these reasons, the bear species above were stopped, as well as jaguars (Pantheraonca) and cougars (Puma concolor). Nonetheless, most large mammals have remained, such as the Indianelephant (Elephas maximus), hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius), Indian lion (Panthera leo persica),Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica), Rothschild giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis rothschildii), Grevy's zebra(Equus grevyi), Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus) and many others, and <strong>Ostrava</strong> <strong>Zoo</strong> is still amongst thelargest zoos in the Czech Republic even in this regard.Such a short-term cut in the numbers of species, which generally was still a moderate one, allowed forsignificant improvement of conditions for other creatures that remained on the list. Simply, the zoo team wasquickly able to provide a number of animals with larger enclosures by combining several smaller paddocks, aswell as light up the zoo grounds with plants and eliminate a lot of ugly iron barriers or cages. The structure ofstock was however generally maintained in the beginnings, and certainly, the number of breeding species orindividuals could not increase.In 2008 and <strong>2009</strong>, a break occurred. These two years would be difficult to separate because the zoo team'swork on the acquisition of a number of new species covered both periods. This involved not just a few newlarge or "famous" animals, such as three Indian elephants, red pandas, white-naped cranes, etc.; indeed,the tendency towards creating the best level of housing for animals and luxuriously spacious aviaries andenclosures, whether real or still in the designs, as well as investments not only in exhibits, but also the muchneeded facilities behind the scenes, allowed the zoo personnel to work hard on getting new species, oftenrecruiting from completely new taxa not held at the zoo so far. All of the above resulted in an annual increasein the number of animals that is unprecedented in the modern history of <strong>Ostrava</strong> <strong>Zoo</strong>.41
