Meet the endearing Oto the Pallas's cat. She lives in Kobe Animal Kingdom.

She's six months old, born on April 19, 2024 in Kobe Animal Kingdom to the family of Nar the Pallas's cat and Az the Pallas's cat.

Oto was given her name in Kobe Animal Kingdom where she was born. The zookeepers at Kobe Animal Kingdom have thoughtfully considered names for the manul kittens. Each name is inspired by a single kanji character that came to mind through daily interactions with the kittens and reflects their unique characteristics and behaviors, showing the affection and thoughtfulness of the keepers. Oto gives the impression of being very active, often jumping at other animals, making loud noises, and moving around energetically. Because there was an abundance of sounds around this animal, her name “Oto” was derived from the kanji for “sound” (音) Read more about the names of Oto.
