Kitten of Olena b. 2000—the gorgeous Pallas's cat, who used to live in Denver Zoo.
They were born on April 16, 2000 in Denver Zoo to the family of Ivan the Pallas's cat and Olena the Pallas's cat.
Unfortunately this manul is not with us anymore. They passed away in the spring of 2000, they were one month 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 Kitten of Olena b. 2000 didn't survive the first year of his life.
