Prague Zoo: A male bear-shaped devil died suddenly. What happened?
“The autopsy finding revealed circulatory-pulmonary failure, which was probably due to a bowel dysfunction, as the main cause.” introduced the zoo.
Visitors can still see females Aniseed, Laurel and Nutmeg in the zoo in the Czech capital, who live in the Troja exposition of Australian and Tasmanian fauna called Darwin Crater. The group of females should be supplemented by other devils, as advised by the zoo. According to zoo spokeswoman Dana Maděrová, the arrival of other Tasmanian devils is now being discussed.
Exposure unit Darwin Crater, whose construction cost 78 million crowns, opened on May 30, 2020 and is now inhabited by about twenty species of animals. Darwin Crater is also a new home for the annual male wombat Cooper, who arrived in Prague last December from the Hanover Zoo. A female should be added to the male womb.
He visited the Prague Zoo, which is a contributory organization of the capital, last year 962,987 visitors, ie about 110,000 more than the year before. In 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic, attendance was about half a million higher. According to the zoo’s management, visitors were affected by the fact that the garden area was completely closed to visitors due to government action against the spread of the covidem-19 disease in the first 101 days of 2021, and had to deal with various restrictions in the following weeks and months.
