Yus from Ueno Zoo has passed away 🌈
Sad news came from Ueno Zoo: on April 8, 2026, the beautiful Yus passed away 💔
She lived a very long manul life—she was nearly 16 years old 🙏🏻
Yus was born on May 4, 2010, at Ueno Zoo together with her brothers Naim and Doro to the manuls Bayar and Lalaa. She spent her entire life at her home zoo.
In recent years, the staff had noted age-related changes in Yus, though she maintained a good appetite and remained under close observation by specialists. In early March, her condition worsened, and after examination she was diagnosed with an esophageal disease. Despite veterinary care, sadly, Yus could not be saved.
Yus left no offspring, but she will forever remain in the hearts of manulovers around the world ❤️
We extend our condolences to the staff of Ueno Zoo and to all manulovers.
May your heavenly steppe be endless and filled with sunshine, dear manul!
