Socialization chamois (\kur{Rupicapra rupicapra}), in the new exposition in the zoo Hluboká
BAŽANTOVÁ, Jiřina
Mountain chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) inhabit the mountain areas in the Alpine countries and the Asia Minor. In the Bohemia it was introduced in Lužické hory (1907) and Jeseníky (1913). Chamois mostly create large numerous groups, which are leaded by the most experienced female. Males live either in the small groups or solitary. The aim of this work was the ethological study, which was carried out in the zoo Hluboka and in the zoo Olomouc, and further comparison of breeding in these zoos. For processing an ethological study the direct observation method was used. Observation in the zoo Hluboka took its place for 7 months, in the morning and afternoon times. Ethological picture was carried out separately for each individual of the group (one male and two females). Except a direct observation there were used two photo traps from which records were processed for all group of animals together. In the zoo Olomouc observation was carried out in two days and executed for all group of animals together. From observations was detected that chamois in both zoos had spent the most of the time by food intaking and lying. Except the female Andulka from the zoo Hluboka, which had spent the most of the time in the stable (out of sight). Certain anti-sociality had caused her dominant female Eliška. In the zoo Olomouc physical activities had been the highest in the morning and evening hours, while in the zoo Hluboka this hadn't been observed. Three main factors which may have an influence on breeding of chamois in the human care were selected: number of animals, climate conditions and the situation of exposition.
