A female Pallas's cat has arrived at the Leningrad Zoo! 🎉
🐾A long-awaited female Pallas's cat named Pepe has arrived in St. Petersburg. She's five years old and came to us from the Barnaul Zoo for temporary care as part of the EARAZA conservation and breeding program for Pallas's cats. We are the second zoo in Russia to host a pair that has produced offspring. Only six zoos in our country have representatives of this fascinating, but challenging, species.
Pepe made it to the Leningrad Zoo without any problems. She will spend a month in quarantine. This is a standard procedure for newly arrived animals, allowing them to be assessed and tested, as well as to allow time for them to adapt to their new surroundings without unnecessary stress.😌
We'll definitely let you know as soon as Pepe goes on display. Follow us on social media!🥰
