Analýza chovu žirafy Rothschildovy (Giraffa camelopardalis rothschildi) v Zoo Ostrava
Sikorová roz. Valečková, Eliška
In 2014, a breeding group of giraffes was observed in Ostravian zoo. The aim of the observation was to monitor and evaluate individual activities of the animals during the day. The observation took place in both winter and summer season. Elements of behavior had been recorded for four days in each season and compared thereafter. The conclusion of the monitoring is that the most frequent element of behavior was food and water intake, followed by standing, walking and other motion, and often licking of other objects ocurred. Less frequent was excretion and the least frequent sexual behavior. Notes on morphology, bionomy, worldwide distribution, and quantities of giraffes in zoos are summarized and personal evaluation of breeding in Ostrava zoo is mentioned.
Dominance hierarchy in the male group of ruffed lemurs (\kur{Varecia} spp.) in the Ostrava ZOO
STEHLÍKOVÁ, Jitka
This study investigates a dominance hierarchy in a male group of ruffed lemurs (Varecia spp.). I introduce a new method of data processing in unstable and inconsistent dominance hierarchy. Data were collected in the Ostrava ZOO during 30 days in the summer of 2009 and 28 days in the of winter 2010. The results demonstrate unusual structure in the sequences of agonistic interactions. The lemur group exhibited unstable and inconsistent dominance hierarchy with a low level of linearity. It appears that dominance hierarchy in ruffed lemurs is based on their social role in the family group and not on agonistic interactions.
