Manul of the day
Todays icon of a manul is Abrikos!

Abrikos was born April 13 2024 in Ueno Zoological Gardens from Kylon and Primula. She later moved to Nasu Animal Kingdom on June 16, 2025. She has 4 siblings; Shafran, Figa, Nar and Minya. Her name from Ueno Animal Kingdom means Apricot, and in Ueno Animal Kingdom it is normal for manuls to have russian names.
Abrikos has an iconic black eye that I can only presume to be from some infection that caused it to permanently black out. If I'm wrong, please tell me.
Question of the day: Which manul do you want to see most?
All information gathered about Abrikos was from the offical page for her on Manulization.

Yes, Abrikos cannot see with this eye, and it has darkened due to an illness he had.
Toxoplasmosis, as I recall, is what the illness is called.
Of the ones accessible to me, I want to see Boris. Accessible, but requiring some effort—the redheads from Yerevan; and the truly unrealistic one is Grushik.
Thank you for choosing to do Abrikos for Manuel of the day! My answer would of course be to see Abri in person ❤️
