Today was time for another regular Akiko pilgrimage to Edinburgh! He put on a real show and was very active, and very angry! ❤️🐾

He is such a great example of a grumpy classic Manul. Well done Akiko ❤️🐾

Half of the enclosure was closed off and a new nesting box seen....👀👀👀 I hope Akiko is on his best behaviour and puts on his most attractive fur coat! 

Enjoy the pictures - hopefully some videos also will load! ❤️

I took an emergency day off work today and visited the gang of Bat-Erdene, Altai and Khutga today at their new home. How exciting! We were playing a bit of a game of hide and seek, but with patience they gave more of a show than expected. Very brave 😻

Living in the North of England, I am so happy to now have two zoos (Edinburgh Zoo and Lakeland) that are both two hours drive from me. Manul day trips! 😻😻😻
