Manul Synok and his parents
I found the life story of the manul Synok on the internet in two different sources (1, 2). His mother died the day after he was born, and the other kittens also died. Synok was left alone and was fed and raised by the zoo staff.
However, the article says that his presumed parents are Cesar and Kelen, while Synok’s profile lists Right and Joyce. But Joyce lived until the autumn of 2006, and Kelen until 2011.
So if Synok’s mother really was Joyce, then is the date of her death listed incorrectly? Or did she survive the infection, but the kitten was raised by people while Joyce was ill? I’m confused.
