One of the most charismatic Pallas's cats of our time — the handsome Grusha. He lives in Asahiyama Zoo.
He's seven years old, born on April 20, 2017 in Saitama Children's Zoo to the family of Lev the Pallas's cat and Shar the Pallas's cat. Read more about the travels of Grusha.
Still young but fur-groun-up, Grusha at the age of 1 year old moved to Hokkaido — the northmost and snow-most Japanese island to Asahiyama zoo.
Grusha was given his name in Saitama Children's Zoo where he was born. All children of Lev were named with Russian plant names in honour of his origins. Lev was born in the Novosibirsk Zoo. Read more about the names of Grusha.
Grusha is many-faced and striking, but always brooding and focused; expressive and active, but calm and observant like a highlander.
A dazzling white beard, pitch black stripes and brows, a bright terracotta button nose and a pair of incredibly saturated yellow eyes — Grusha is incredibly spectacular and gorgeous as he came from a painting.
Just take a look on him!
