Jejunal volvulus was diagnosed in a captive 12-year-old male striped hyena at necropsy. The animal was presented with decreased appetite, dullness, vomiting, and mild abdominal distention intermittently for about two months. Then, the animal was found anorexia, lethargy, depression, red brown colored vomiting materials, and decreased defecation from 10 days before death. At necropsy, jejunal volvulus was found about 1 m in length, and coalescence was observed at the inner membranes of jejunum. The parenchyma of the kidney was congested, and the bladder was filled with hematuria. These conditions might cause shock by renal failure that led to death. To prevent volvulus in a captive striped hyena, it is needed to improve zoo environment and early diagnosis using ultrasonography and X-ray.

Clostridial bacteria are zoonotic agents, which cause severe necrotizing enteritis, pseudo-membrane colitis, enterotoxemia to both humans and animals. The objective of this study was to monitor the antibiotic resistance of Clostridium isolates on clinical specimens from wild animals in Seoul zoo for 5 years. Clostridium isolates were verified by using Vitek2 compact machine. Antibiotic susceptibility was assessed by antibiotic disc diffusion test, which was followed by Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion test method. The frequency of Antimicrobial resistance of Clostridium isolate was the greatest in gentamicin (87%), then in order of amikacin (80%). There were 55.6% of Clostridium isolates showed multiple drug resistance (MDR). These results showed that a lot of Clostridial bacteria from wild animals in Seoul zoo were acquired antibiotic resistance. Because of the wild animal's aggressive manner, it has been hard to collect clinical samples from wild animals in a zoo to exam antibiotic susceptibility. For these reasons, empirical use of antibiotics has been performed in frequently. It may cause to increase the emergence of antibiotic resistance bacteria. In addition, the antibiotic resistance bacteria from zoo animals can be spread to other wild animals which inhabit around the zoo. Therefore, regular monitoring of antibiotic resistance Clostridial bacteria is important to protect animals and humans from Clostridial diseases.

계획이 잘 된 이상적인 동물원이란 일차적으로 전시동물에 대한 생태학적 고려가 잘 된 것을 말하며 그 다음으로 관람자의 편의성과 즐거움을 위해 레저$.$휴식을 제공하는 동물원이라 할 수 있다. 하지만 이러한 양면의 목적을 제대로 현실화시킨 동물원을 찾아보기란 쉽지 않다. 동물원을 계획하고 설치할 때 모든 요소들을 거시적으로 통합하는 계획 능력의 부족으로 일어나는 디자인의 문제점 또한 거론하지 않을 수 없다. 이 는 깊이 있는 전문적 지식과 정보가 부재하여 각 부분들이 가지는 전체적 통일이나 다양한 내용이 상호 커뮤니케이션화 되어 있지 않고 있기 때문으로 풀이할 수 있다. 그러므로 놀이와 학습과 관람 및 레저의 목적을 겸한 동물원에 대한 통합디자인은 아무리 강조하여도 지나치지 않다. 동물원에는 아이덴티티 프로그램(identity program), 퍼니처시스템(furniture system), 동물의 쇼룸, 우리와 부대시설 등의 요소들이 상호 조화하는 종합된 디자인 사고가 요구된다. 본 연구는 이와 같은 개념에서 접근한 대구광역시 달성공원에 대한 통합디자인 연구라고 할 수 있다. 동물원을 겸하고 있는 달성공원의 이용형태를 시각환경과 생태환경이 서로 조화할 수 있도록 새롭게 분석 종합하여 바람직한 통합디자인이 될 수 있도록 연구해보았다.

Four estrus-induced Himalayan tahrs (Hemitragus jemlahicus) were inseminated with frozen-thawed semen by laparoscopic or transcervical insemination techniques with no regard to the site of ovulation in non-breeding season. In June and July, 2009, estrus was synchronized by Eazi-Breed $CIDR^{(R)}$ (Controlled internal drug release; Pfizer Animal Health, New Zealand) insertion for 16 days and PG 600 (PMSG 400IU, hCG 200 IU; Intervet, Netherlands) injection (IM) a day before removing $CIDR^{(R)}$. Forty eight hours later, laparoscopic or transcervical insemination was done to each of two tahrs under anesthetic condition inducted by ketamine (1.5 mg/kg) and medetomidine (0.09 mg/kg). For examination of estradiol and progesterone, blood was collected right before $CIDR^{(R)}$ insertion, PG 600 injection, $CIDR^{(R)}$ removal and insemination. Estradiol levels of four tahrs (No. 1, 2, 3, 4) before $CIDR^{(R)}$ insertion and insemination were 13.3, 8.8, 14.3, 12 pg/ml and 23.5, 25.5, 21.1, 11.5 pg/ml, respectively. Progesterone levels of four tahrs (No. 1, 2, 3, 4) before $CIDR^{(R)}$ insertion and insemination were 1.8, 0.05, 0.63, 0.61 ng/ml and 1.03, 0.37, 1.48, 2.12 ng/ml. Except for No. 4 tahr, cervices showed cervical mucus and opened enough to penetrate with embryo transfer gun sheet usually used for cows. Therefore, No.4 was laparoscopically inseminated together with No. 1. In conclusion, none of four Himalayan tahrs was pregnant. However, we proved that estrus could be induced by CIDR and PG 600 injection in non-breeding season, and laparoscopic or transcervical insemination with frozen-thawed semen could be one of assisted reproductive techniques in Himalayan Tahr.

Parrots are common targets for illegal trade because of their beauty and high price. Accurate identification is necessary for the prevention of illegal trade and conservation of parrots. In the present study, mitochondrial markers of cytochrome b (CYTB) gene were used to identify parrot species from Korean zoos. Totally, 27 samples were collected from Seoul Zoo, Cheongju Zoo, and Uchi Zoo. After collection, total DNA of samples was extracted and used for PCR amplification. CYTB fragments were sequenced from all samples examined. The obtained sequences were used for GenBank blast, distance estimation, and phylogenetic analysis. All species were identified using CYTB sequences that determined 27 samples belong to 13 species in 7 genera, and 3 families. Our finding demonstrated the usefulness of CYTB sequences for identifying parrot species in Korean zoos.

Intestinal rupture caused by small bowel volvulus was diagnosed in a captive 13-year-old male American black bear. The animal presented with decreased appetite, depression, lethargy, and mild abdominal distention for 3 days. The animal was treated with antibiotics, hypermetabolites, and digestive medicine daily; however, it died on the third day of treatment. The clinical symptoms included hemorrhagic ascites, gaseous extension of the small intestine, and intestinal rupture caused by small bowel volvulus. Hemorrhagic signs were observed in the lungs and heart. This is the first case to describe small bowel volvulus in mammals of the family Ursidae.

A three-month-old female African buffalo born at Seoul Zoo showed signs of abdominal distension, bulging of the perineal skin, and small stool volume compared to feed intake. Upon physical examination, atresia ani with rectovaginal fistula was diagnosed. This case was subjected to surgery under inhalation anesthesia after injecting a sedative. Surgery was performed in two steps: anal reconstruction and closing the rectovaginal fistula. First, a circular skin incision was made at the end of the rectal pouch to create an anus, and then the skin of the anus and the mucous membrane of the rectum were brought into apposition by simple interrupted sutures. Second, the rectovaginal fistula was ligated on both vulval and anal side. Antibiotics were administered on every alternate day and the sutures were removed at ten days surgery under sedation. The rectovaginal communication was closed and the calf was able to urinate and defecate normally. The animal grew to become a normal adult without any complications. This is the first case report of atresia ani with rectovaginal fistula in an African buffalo, that was successfully treated by surgical intervention.

본 논문은 유아에게 동물의 모습과 습성, 울음소리, 특징 및 한글과 영어 등을 학습하게 하기 위하여 다양한 동물이 있는 동물원을 대상으로 시스템을 개발하였다. 유아가 관심 있는 동물의 전면에 인형을 위치하면, 동물의 울음소리, 모습 등을 동물원 모형에 연결되어 있는 디스플레이 장치를 통하여 학습할 수 있다. 동물원은 현재의 동물원의 모양을 축소하여 각 동물 우리에 동물을 인식할 수 있는 센서를 부착한다. 부착된 센서는 각각 고유의 ID를 가지고 있으며, 유아인형이 접근 하게 되면 인식하고 처리기에 고유 ID를 전송하게 된다. 전송된 ID는 데이터베이스에서 전송된 ID값과 일치하는 콘텐츠를 검색하게 되고, 검색된 콘텐츠는 Output 장치를 통하여 출력되게 된다. 또한 인형이 동물우리에 근접하였을 경우 멀티미디어 효과를 통하여 동물의 울음소리 및 기본적인 학습을 할 수 있도록 하였으며, 한글, 영어, 수셈 학습을 동시에 할 수 있도록 구성하였다.

Dermatophytosis was found on the right front leg of a 4-month-old female African lion cub (Panthera leo) kept at a zoo with locally marginal alopecia. For diagnosis, culturing on sabouraud dextrose agar was performed and skin scrapings from the lesion were analyzed. The ones from the culture and skin scrapings were identified as Trichophyton mentagrophytes. A zookeeper that had been in contacted with the lion for artificial rearing developed skin lesions with well-defined erythematous plaques on the right arm about 1 month after the lesion in the lion was observed. The ringworm was probably transmitted from the lion through continuous contact.
