Altai—the charming Pallas's cat, who used to live in Mulhouse Zoological and Botanical Park.
She was born on April 4, 2014 in Parco Faunistico La Torbiera to the family of Son of Dandelion b. 2012 and Daughter of Madre b. 2007. Read more about the travels of Altai.
Unfortunately Altai is not with us anymore. She passed away on August 4, 2014, she was four months old.
One of the biggest problems of keeping Pallas's cats in captivity is the high mortality rate among Pallas's kittens. They are most vulnerable during their first year of life. In the first year of life mortality rate among Pallas's kittens in zoos varies from 50% to 70%. In the wild mortality rate varies from 70% to 90%. Unfortunately Altai didn't survive the first year of his life.
