Hm, as I prefere carnivores, this part of ZOO is not very atractive for me and I admit that I do not visit it very often   but of course I took some shots for you to present also this part of ZOO Brno

Last time we finished our tour next to exhibit for maras and that's where we will start today. Next to maras, there is completely new exhibit for meercats. It is almost finished, I think that meercats will move there soon it is much bigger than their current exhibit.







I took previous shots 4/6/2009. Yesterday, 11 days after taking those photos, I saw that the enclosure has already been painted. It looks very nice, I think!




I was shocked how very quickly ZOO Brno does many changes. There are many places in the ZOO, where there is come construction, or where the renovation is planned.
People, who visit ZOO Brno usually complain about one problem – you can walk many minutes and many metres while seeing no animals.
ZOO obviously agrees and that's why it is building new enclosure for meercats and also for peccary – both of them near the main road of ZOO Brno.
Here you can see how fast the ZOO is about building new exhibits!






Now we will walk near this almost done exhibit.
Do you see both of those roads? The one on the left is the main ZOO road. Until last year, its quality was absolutely terrible. Last year it was completely rebuilt and now it is very good and also nicely looking path   we will turn to the right side, because we are visiting llamas.
The path on the right is completely new – before its building, there was only dusty path to llamas and ibexes.

















Oh no. There is a hill in front of us I am too lazy to climb it... I usually want to go to the upper part of the ZOO, but then I think of this hill... Heh and I usually change my plans, staying in the lower part of the ZOO
This time, we will trick this cruel, cruel hill
We will go to the left, visiting some other herbivores



This road is lost between trees and plants


Enclosures here are usually fenced with odd looking old black metal bars. It provides great natural space for animals, but bad conditions for photographers for people, some special ,,viewing" places are prepared – there is usually a bench and you can observe animals. Those places provide you much better chance to watch all species!




The first exhibit we meet is home for a moose. It is so huge exhibit, that I have no  chance to show it, even if I put 10 photos together. It is very wide and so long, that its lower part is next to exhibit of wolves! I miss only one thing here – a lake or a small pond for moose.




Close to the exhibit of moose, there is smaller pen for Siberian elk.




Next to this exhibit, there is neighbouring pen for llamas.


















Next time we will visit camels, zebras, kiangs, horses and ,,children" ZOO
Lunchi, I did not forget your wish, it will come soon (I mean info boards and closer look at station for handicaped animals)
