The Krasnoyarsk trip

In July of 2025, manul fans learned that Boris (the son of Eva and Zhora) had moved out of his parental home (the large Novosibirsk dormitory) into his own individual enclosure. Now his home became Krasnoyarsk and the Roev Ruchey Flora and Fauna Park. The climate for Boris did not change much. He didn’t leave Siberia; on the contrary, he went even deeper into it)
The zoo staff began posting absolutely mind-blowing photos of Boris on their social media. And when the fattening-up contest started, Boris immediately, even as a newcomer, made himself known as a contender for first place. Such a handsome guy, and not that far from me — I had to go see such a marvelous manul!
On one trip to Krasnoyarsk, you can also drop by Novosibirsk. That’s how I combined these two cities on December 20–22, 2025. The weather in Krasnoyarsk was good — Boris had done his part — only minus 10 degrees. But the next day in Novosibirsk it was already very harsh (in part 1 I wrote about minus 30).
Roev Ruchey is located some distance from the city. I waited until daytime so that Borya would wake up and get ready to wait for food.
The ceremonial moment: I come closer — Boris is on his favorite shelf! It allows him to keep the entire enclosure under control and even the Yenisei River, which is nearby. Boris thoroughly prepared for his first Krasnoyarsk winter — the shape of a ball and a thick coat were already with him.

Well hello there, hand over the meat. How can visitors not be allowed to feed the animals? Go give it to my keepers; let them check it and hand it over to me)
