Son of Kelen 2007 Ⅱ—the endearing Pallas's cat, who used to live in Leningrad zoo.
He was born on April 11, 2007 in Leningrad zoo to the family of Genghis the Pallas's cat and Kelen the Pallas's cat.
Unfortunately Son of Kelen 2007 Ⅱ is not with us anymore. He passed away on April 22, 2007, he was eleven days 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 Son of Kelen 2007 Ⅱ didn't survive the first year of his life.
