He was born in July of 2016 in Howletts Wild Animal Park to the family of Temuchin the Pallas's cat and Nuruu the Pallas's cat.

Araatan was given his name in Howletts Wild Animal Park where he was born. All Timuchin’s children were named with Mongolian names. “Araatan” (Араатан) meand “a predator” in Mongolian. Read more about the names of Araatan.

The zoo staff shared that their fluffy ward, Araatan, was quiet, calm, and a polar opposite of his brother Jochi. He was very easy to pick out, as he had contracted the feline herpes virus very early in life, and as a result, had pronounced scarring over his left eye.

Unfortunately Araatan is not with us anymore. He passed away in February of 2023, he was six years old.
