Hobbies of the Manuls
The one thing that absolutely melts my heart is seeing that some of the manuls have some particular things they specialize in. That includes:
- Abrikos pretending she's a beaver chewing some trees.
- Nar who is the master of cleaning windows and apparently is fascinated by the Binturong that lives next to him.
- Lotos who is obsessed with his boxes (like all the cats but from what I see he's enjoying it the most).
- Bol and Polly which loved to just chill and contemplate in their favorite spots on the exibition.
Did you observe any other Pallas cats having some sort of interests or a hobby?
Abu being Abu
It's like he really wants the camera man to see his neighbour

In Russian beaver is бобёр (bobør). Taking in account Abrikos is pretending she's a beaver we call her Бобрикос (Bobrikos = BOBør + abRIKOS = mix of bever and Abrikos).
And we even know who has figured that fun pet name out.
There lives Son of Eve 2023 IV in Novosibirsk zoo, https://manulization.com/manuls/son-of-eve-2023-iv.html
His hobby is to monitor his surrounding. There is a cafe with a grill not far from his enclosure. In Summer he is getting out early and sitting all day long at his watching spot monitoring the alley and the grill. Here you can watch him on duty at his surroundings monitoring spot:
Fellini, besides his dancing skills, likes to do some woodworking.
Ula loves perching. An interest she passed to all her children, I noticed!
partyontheobjective, That's for sure! All her kids love sitting on treetops! 😺
I think Arkas loves to monitor the zoo from Mimis tree, however I have not seen Mimi herself sitting up there.
Is Abu related to beavers? =))))
Lê Đường Phèn, She's just like Mowgli, only completely different. Not a man, but a Pallas's cat. Not a boy, but a girl. And beavers instead of wolves.
Sir Thomas O'Malley loved to sit on top of his mountain, and also... hunt the little zoo visitors! 😈😁
Altai from Izhevsk is a furry Russian nobleman who loves his beautiful balcony with all his heart, spending a lot of time on it. Legend has it that no one has ever seen Altai on the ground—he's always on his balcony! 😅And he looks down on everyone, just like a true Pallas's cat, in body and soul. 😎
Lê Đường Phèn, No doubt about it! 😁
I love that they all have their own fluffy little personalities. 😊🥰
