ELOIS - Species Information - Eurasian Lynx In Captivity In Europe Another argument for a more sensitive breeding of lynx in european zoos is thefact that Number of Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in european zoos in 2002. http://www.kora.unibe.ch/en/proj/elois/online/speciesinf/lynx_in_captivity/lynx_

Until recently, the European Association of Zoos and Aquariums (EAZA) kept no studbook for the Eurasian lynx. As an increasing number of lynx from zoos were released to the wild in re-introduction programs (Kampinoski in Poland, Harz in Germany), the necessity for a better management of the species and hence a studbook became evident. Another argument for a more sensitive breeding of lynx in European zoos is the fact that not all subspecies of Lynx lynx have the same conservation status. The EAZA decided to start a studbook for the Eurasian lynx in 2002. The status data, collected through the most recent EAZA Taxon Advisory Group Survey, were used as starting point for the studbook. Intensive investigations by the studbook keeper Lars Versteege allowed completing many of the missing data (VERSTEEGE 2003). Additionally, historical data were collected from the participating institutions. After a full year of research, the following data were available for 2002 (Table 2.1): Tab. 2.1.

The lynx-like cats are united in one genus ( Lynx ) with four species ( lynx, pardinus, rufus, and canadensis ). They occur nowadays in the northern hemisphere only: L. lynx and L. pardinus in the Palaearctic, L. rufus and L. canadensis in the Nearctic. Lynx pardinus , the Iberian lynx, was always restricted to the Iberian Peninsula south of the Pyrenees, whereas the entire remaining area in the Old World from the Atlantic coast in Europe to the Pacific Ocean in the Far East is generally regarded as the area of the Eurasian lynx ( Lynx lynx et al. et al. 2003), but there is no final agreement on the classification of subspecies yet. From all these works, we compile what we believe to be at present the best possible interpretation of the distribution of recent subspecies in Europe (Fig. 2.5). Fig. 2.5.

44. Status And Reproduction Capacity Of The Asian Elephant In Europe The structure of the elephant groups in european zoos differs from the family Thus, obviously, successful breeding in european zoos depends on the http://www.elephant.se/elephant_reproduction.php

Reproduction capacity of the Asian elephant in Europe By Jeanette Schmid Introduction Since 1976 the Asian elephant has been listed on Appendix I of CITES. In the last half of this century the wild population has declined to an estimated 34,000–54,000 individuals (Santiapillai and Jackson, 1990). The main reasons for this reduction are the increase of human population and human demands on natural resources, which destroy the living conditions of the elephants (Daniel, 1996). The bad situation in the wild has affected the keeping of elephants in European zoos, where these animals have been kept since the 19th century. As a consequence of its listing as an endangered species, the captive population of Asian elephants in Europe is now managed by a European Endangered Species Programme (EEP). The aim of this programme is to build up a self-sustaining captive population of Asian elephants in European zoos, in the hope of bringing some animals back to the wild, as soon as the situation in their natural habitat has changed (Tudge, 1991). Successful breeding with avoidance of inbreeding, the production of behaviourally and ecologically competent animals (Ganslosser, 1995), and the cooperation of all elephant owners are preconditions of achieving these aims. The present paper will give an overview of the size and composition of the captive population of Asian elephants in European zoos and circuses, their breeding success since 1902, and the problems which are involved in the captive breeding of this species. The basic data for the paper were collected by the European Elephant Group (Haufellner

What's new? ZOO RESEARCH IN GENERAL RESEARCH REGISTRATION AT CHESTER ZOO Zoo research covers a variety of topics, such as behaviour, genetics, nutrition and taxonomy, and contributes significantly to our conservation, animal welfare and breeding goals. Zoos also provide a unique opportunity to train scientists in research techniques that can also be applied in the field. Research at the Zoo Zoos across the world play an essential role in many areas of biological research, including animal behaviour, environmental enrichment, animal health and other welfare issues, genetics, taxonomy, conservation, ecology, nutrition, reproduction, physiology and psychology. The new EU Zoo Directive (Council Directive 1999/22/EC) legally requires that all European Zoos participate in scientific research - Chester Zoo not only meets these regulations but far exceeds them! Chester Zoo is an important research facility and the biggest research training ground for zoo-based studies in the UK. Our animals benefit in many ways from the studies that researchers have been conducting over the years. Ultimately, this research gives us the tools to assess and improve our animals’ welfare and to help fulfil our conservation goals. Follow the links on this page to find out more about research here at Chester Zoo and at the sites we support around the world.

Back to ZOO report The Brno Zoo, a useful member of EAZA Dr. Leobert E. M. de Boer Chairman of EAZA Leobert de Boer was born in 1947 in the city of Apeldoorn, The Netherlands. He studied biology and geology at the University of Utrecht, where he obtained a PhD in primate genetics. After having worked in human genetics for some years, he joined the Rotterdam Zoo in 1976 to build up the biology and education department. In 1988 he became director of a Foundation (based at the Amsterdam Zoo) which stimulated cooperation between zoos in The Netherlands. Later on, this Foundation also took on the task to organise the EEP programmes for EAZA. Since 1993 Leobert de Boer is the director of Apenheul Primate Park. In 1999 he became Chairman of EAZA’s EEP Committee, and in 2003 he was elected Chairman of EAZA.

It belongs to the state and it is the only institution of its kind in Sri Lanka. A Middle-European admires its breathtaking luxuriant vegetation, natural waterfall and climate, all of which enable the establishment of open exhibits with crocodiles and turtles or open vivaria with snakes. A lot of orphans found in the wild are brought to the National Zoo. The island is inhabited by four kinds of wildcats, one of them belongs to the so-called big cats, of course it’s the Sri Lanka leopard (Panthera pardus kotiya). There also lives the smallest feline on Sri Lanka, the Rusty-Spotted cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus), whose weight is only about one kilogram.

Britain's first zoo elephant arrived in London in 1254. It was a present to Henry 111 from Louis IX of France. Crowds flocked from so many miles to see the amazing creature, which was housed in the Tower of London, that a special shelter had to be built to accommodate the sheer number of visitors. His popularity was matched a little over six hundred years later by London Zoo's 'Jumbo' who became such a huge attraction for Londoners that there was a great public outcry when he was sold to Barnum and Baileys, the American circus. But in spite of the popularity of elephants, and in spite of their almost domestic use in Asia, very few have ever been bred in captivity. There is one very good reason for this: very few zoos that keep elephants keep an adult bull. Of the sixty or seventy elephants in British zoos, less than ten percent are bulls. The same percentage holds true for most European zoos.

The image of the captive bear, chained by the ankle, muzzled and teetering on two legs for the pleasure of the crowd, is one that seems to be ingrained in our collective memories. Bears have been captured and made to perform since the days when the brown bear shared most of Europe with us. European bears were often trapped for the circuses in ancient Rome, and for most of recorded history the bear has been a popular animal only so long as it was chained and humiliated, and unpopular enough to slaughter wherever it roamed wild. Has anything changed? Critics of circuses and zoos would argue not. Bears are still rather shabbily treated in many collections, are often kept in pits or concrete cells totally unsuited to their behavioural demands. It seems that many zoos are still prejudiced by the incarnation of the performing bear rather than by the wild, magnificent animal.

Two years of intensive fundraising for 21st Century Tiger by over 125 zoos throughout Europe, with further fundraising support from zoos belonging to EARAZA (Euro-Asian Regional Association of Zoos and Aquariums) and ARAZPA (Australasian Regional Association of Zoological Parks and Aquaria) has finally come to a close. A closing ceremony for the campaign was held at the EAZA Annual Conference in Kolmarden, Sweden. Following a presentation providing updates from all the projects funded by the campaign, fundraising certificates were handed out to the participating zoos. Colchester Zoo received a special commendation for raising over 60,000 euros, more than any other zoo. Hereafter, the Executive Director of EAZA, Koen Brouwer, announced the preliminary total amount of funds collected in this EAZA campaign for in situ tiger conservation, was the amazing sum of 663,853.61 euros. This fantastic total was more than 150,000 euros OVER target and will enable 21st Century Tiger to fund all currently approved grants and more.
