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).
