00:00 I think autumn is the most beautiful time to come to the zoo and admire our animals.
00:06 Especially here, where we are, in the old part of the zoo, there are many species that are easier to see in winter and autumn than in summer.
00:14 Because they have very low temperatures, and they are also more active when there are fewer tourists, when it is calmer.
00:20 These are, for example, the reindeers behind our backs, these are yellow-throated mules that live in the neighborhood,
00:26 as well as white-tailed hares, which are also here, right next to the manula,
00:31 which are cats that wear a lot of winter fur and look twice as big as those that can be seen in the summer,
00:40 but we ensure that they are still the same individuals.
00:43 We also have hoofed animals here, including Sikidibowski and Chinese mules,
00:49 which in nature have the status of being extinct, so we only have them in zoos around the world.
00:56 This year we also met two young of this species, so you can also see them.
01:00 You can also see owls in the oldest building of the zoo in the so-called Bear Forest,
01:05 which is today a zoo where several species of owls live.
01:08 And this part, the old part of the zoo, is the most beautiful in autumn, in my humble opinion,
01:13 and the animals are more active then.
01:16 Additionally, a species that is very active in winter and autumn are snow panthers.
01:21 We have two young, we have two females, so we can say two young snow panthers from this year.
01:28 They are a few months old and are more and more willing to go out on their own,
01:31 adapted to the conditions they have in nature, i.e. very rocky,
01:35 reflecting the natural environment of the high peaks of Central Asia.
01:39 They are becoming more and more active, they jump from these canoes and from our rocks,
01:50 sometimes they chase them, they are very active, you can watch them play,
01:54 just like our domestic cats, you can stand there and watch them for a long time
01:58 and also observe the behavior that we have in our domestic cats.
02:02 We recently announced their names, they are Asha and Kara from Gashelbrum and Karakorum,
02:08 so autumn is a perfect opportunity to watch snow panthers in our zoo.
02:13 It will definitely be easier in such weather, they can't stand the heat and hide on their back,
02:19 so in the summer it is much harder.
02:22 As we observe on the outcrop of the reindeers, both females and males of this species have porosia.
02:27 At the moment, two females have partial porosia, they have lost some,
02:33 but the image we see of Christmas, i.e. the Christmas wreath of Santa Claus,
02:38 wreathed in reindeer, which have porosia, is not entirely correct and true,
02:44 because they will lose this porosia before Christmas and usually they don't have it for Christmas.
02:50 However, before that, they also get rid of the chaff, rubbing themselves with porosia on trees,
02:55 on canoes, on various obstacles, and as a result, they finally lose this porosia.
03:00 Now we can still observe it, at least in some of our males and females,
03:05 in some females only half of them, so we can hurry to see more.
