ŠERÁKOVÁ, Veronika
The thesis deals with food preferences of elk (Alces alces) in Czech zoological gardens and contains observation of food preferences in zoo Hluboká nad Vltavou. The results are compared with food offer and preference in the wilds described in literature. The first part of the thesis is aimed at literary review about elk, its characteristic, categorization, distribution and biology. It is focused mainly on the studies dealing with feeding habits and food preferences of elk in the wilds and captivity. The second part describes observation of food preferences of three elks in zoo Hluboká nad Vltavou, provided during 10 feedings. The food quality and composition of feed ration was also evaluated not only in zoo Hluboká nad Vltavou, but also in zoo Praha and zoo Brno (based on information from local zoo keepers). Analysis of variance showed that there are differences in feeding latency between various types of food. Elks preferred dried herbs, carrot and oak bark. On the contrary, elks did not preferred oat flakes and both granules for giraffes and elks. Recommendation for feed ration improving, including also food preferences of the elk were also suggested.

Evaluation of breeding of bears (family Ursidae) in the C. R.
VRŠECKÁ, Lucie
This study evaluated the breeding of family Ursidae especially in the zoos in the Czech Republic since 1984. The Yearbooks of the Union of Czech and Slovak Zoological Gardens have been published annually since the same year. Species Information System (ISIS) originated from February 2014 was used to compare the current number of bears in the Czech zoos and in other world zoos. Nowadays five species of bears, i.e. brown bear (Ursus arctos), polar bear (Ursus maritimus), sun bear (Helarctos malayanus), Asian black bear (Ursus thibetanus) and American black bear (Ursus americanus) are bred in the Czech Republic. In the past sloth bear (Melursus ursinus) was also bred. Bears are kept especially in the zoos (13), in seven moats, by two private owners and in circuses in the Czech Republic. The number of bears in private ownership and circuses is unknown. One hundred and thirty four bear cubs (i.e. 63 , 40 and 31 unknown sex) were born in the Czech Republic from 1984 to 2013. Its total survival was 53% (i.e. 71 cubs). The survival of male (67 %) and female (63 %) was comparable, while only 13 % of cubs with undetermined sex survived. The most cubs born were cubs of brown bear (69).

Are Czech zoos really the facilities for animal conservation?
ŠVEHLOVÁ, Žaneta
I focused this bacholor work on finding are Czech ZOOs really the facilities for animal conservation. For this work I used the access to diabase IUCN and Yearbook of the Czech and Slovak ZOOs 2012. The reset showed that the largem number of breeding species falls into the category of Least Concern. At least then into categories Extinct in the wild. The results implies that the proportion of endangered animals in ZOOs Czech Republic is smaller than in the IUCN Red List.

Breeding success of Snow Leopard, Ounce (Uncia uncia) in Zoological gardens.
FIALA, Václav
A snow leopard, specifically irbis (Uncia uncia), is considered as the most endangered species. There are many causes of decreasing population in the last twenty years. The most important are mainly loss of habitat and prey, poaching, agro farming, related conflicts with the natives, and last but not least bad legislation in some countries. Although, the protection has improved in recent years, it is still necessary to increase its efficiency, especially in legislation. Breeding in human care is also one of the most significant implements in protection. For effective breeding it is essential to understand the factors affecting its success. The main aim of my bachelor thesis is to evaluate the breeding success of irbis in the zoos all over the world (except Asia) from data obtained from the International Pedigree Book for Snow leopards (Uncia uncia). Furthermore, my next task is to describe the conditions of breeding in the Czech Republic and specify the chief factors determining the success of rearing. The following facts based on the study of the International Pedigree Book for Snow leopards (Uncia uncia) were ascertained: due to the small number of zoological gardens, there are initially large fluctuations in success of rearing. With the rising natality increases at the same time the mortality. The average success rate is 56,47 %. The percentage of deaths is still high. The breeding conditions in zoos of the Czech Republic revealed that the success of breeding is negatively affected by the high humidity and poorly prepared diet.
