Czech zoological institutions have reported various successes regarding animal conservation, breeding, and public exhibitions.

In July, Chomutov Zoopark launched the country’s first mantis exhibition, featuring over 50 species to promote awareness of invertebrate diversity. Concurrently, Prague’s zoo displayed newborn snakes, such as the Australian kite snake and Madagascar’s brown tree snake, which were rescued from smugglers.

By mid-August, reports highlighted significant breeding achievements at Plzeň Zoo, including the birth of mongooses, lemurs, agoutis, dwarf marmosets, a white-nosed coati, and a European bison calf. Meanwhile, Prague Zoo has focused on its Indian elephant herd, managing social structures and preparing for upcoming births.
