Křivánek, Ondřej ; Řezníček, Jan (advisor) ; Peřka, Jaroslav (referee)
My master's thesis is about the African elephant (Loxodonta Africana) and is aimed at different behavior elements. These behavior elements were observed in captivity in the ZOO Dvůr Králové and than in the wild in Africa. Observation in wild were carried out on different individuals in various national parks. Overall results were compared and I made from them conclusions about the impact of captivity breeding on the individuals. Key words: african elephant, behavior, captivity, wild Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

ŠIMKOVÁ, D. Reproduction of an African elephant (Loxodonta africana) in a Zoo Zlín – Lešná. Mendel University in Brno, 2019. Diploma thesis. The thesis analyzes the issue of reproduction of critically endangered species of African elephant. The work is focused on monitoring of animal weight and blood test results during the reproductive cycle. The first part describes the general characteristics of the reproduction cycle of the African elephant, the issue of pregnancy and childbirth, and the female reproductive system. In the second part, there are given data from three particular elephants from the Zoo in Zlín. The data are processed into graphs and these are then commented on and compared with the conclusions of already conducted studies and scientific papers. At the end, all the knowledge and forecast of the African elephant reproduction in the Zoo - Lešná in the future are evaluated. All the results show that females are fully capable of reproduction and there is no need to make any changes in the breeding of these animals.
