Luka—the beautiful Pallas's cat, who used to live in The Cat House.
He was born on June 11, 2010 in Red River Zoo. His mother is Elvira the Pallas's cat, but his father is uncertain for us at the moment. Read more about the travels of Luka.
Unfortunately Luka is not with us anymore. He passed away in 2021, he was ten years old.
Pallas's cats rarely live more than 5 years in the wild. In zoos under human care Pallas's cats live longer. Luka lived a long and happy manul-life in comfort and being loved.
