<strong>Pangolins debut in Prague</strong>
Two Formosan pangolins on loan from Taipei Zoo on Sunday debuted at Prague Zoo, with Prague Mayor Zdenek Hrib praising the cities’ ties. Prague Zoo named the male and female pangolins Hugo and Fazolka respectively, following the results of an online poll, Hrib said at a welcoming party. Representative to the Czech Republic Ke Liang-ruey (柯良叡) joined Hrib and zoo director Miroslav Bobek at a ribbon-cutting ceremony marking the opening of the pangolins’ enclosure. Prague Zoo is the second zoo in Europe to host pangolins from Taiwan, after Germany’s Zoo Leipzig. Taipei Zoo spokesman Eric Tsao (曹先紹)
Two Formosan pangolins that Taipei Zoo loaned to Prague Zoo for a breeding project arrived in the Czech Republic on Thursday and are to make a public debut in the middle of next month, Prague Mayor Zdenek Hrib said.
Hrib thanked Taiwan for arranging transportation for the endangered animals.
His government would launch online voting this month to give the two animals nicknames, he said.
Prague Zoo said that the pangolins a female named Jun Hou-tang (潤喉糖) and a male named Kuo Pao (果寶) are housed in an area featuring nocturnal animals in its Indonesian Jungle section.
