OMG, Grusha almost hit 100!
OMG, Grusha has almost reached 100 likes! Prinsessa is a bit behind him and needs 16 more likes to catch up — not an easy task!
Tashi is holding onto 3rd place pretty solidly!
Fellini is reflecting 🙂🙃
Manuls prefer dry steppes and rugged mountains — they are definitely not fans of water. Seeing a manul like this, right by the water, is an exceptionally rare moment and pure luck!
That’s why I love this photo so much.
Poznań Zoo reports that Bożenka the Pallas’s cat has been found! Hooray! 🎉
The zoo announces that Bożenka has returned — safe, healthy, and… looking as if she just came back from a weekend in the city rather than an unexpected escape 😼

Sanjiangyuan National Nature Reserve, China has shared a rare footage: a red fox (Vulpes vulpes) with the body of a Pallas’s cat (Otocolobus manul).
The reserve notes that cases of red foxes preying on manuls are not common. Within the Sanjiangyuan ecosystem, such behavior is not merely the “law of the jungle,” but rather a reflection of interspecific competition and an opportunistic predatory strategy under conditions of strong ecological niche overlap.

Bożenka from Poznan Zoo disappeared from her enclosure.
Today Poznań Zoo reports that during the morning inspection, staff discovered that the facilities where the manul was kept had been opened. According to the zoo, she may have been intentionally released by an unknown individual.
Great news, everyone! With another batch of photos from camera traps installed with our collaborative support in Kazakhstan, we received some truly unique footage — a Pallas’s cat mom with her kittens passing by one of the cameras!
It may look like pure luck that the camera captured these photos, but in reality, it’s the result of the hard work of the people who carefully selected this particular location and applied their deep knowledge of manuls and their behavior in the wild. That expertise is what made this incredible footage possible.
The Saitama Children's Zoo shared good news: starting February 12, the beautiful Oto will begin exploring her exhibit enclosure. This isn't a full opening, but rather a period of adjustment—experiencing the new space, smells, and sounds. For now, the zoo has created a safe environment for Oto, so visitors won't be able to see her easily, but staff will be closely monitoring her.
Oto arrived in Saitama from Kobe Animal Kingdom Zoo on January 12, 2026. Upon arrival, Oto was kept in quarantine, a standard practice when animals are transferred between zoos.
The Warsaw Zoo's most enigmatic resident, a female Pallas's cat named Jessie, has won the "Animal of the Year 2025" contest. She received nearly 1,000 votes.
In the fall, her photo exploded on social media and sparked a true legend: have you even seen Jessie? Visitors increasingly lingered by the enclosure, sharing photos and videos—and the search for the secretive Pallas's cat became a real trend.
