Son of Kelen 2008 Ⅰ—the beautiful Pallas's cat, who used to live in Leningrad zoo.
They were born on May 22, 2008 in Leningrad zoo to the family of Khan the Pallas's cat and Kelen the Pallas's cat.
Unfortunately Son of Kelen 2008 Ⅰ is not with us anymore. They passed away on June 2, 2008, they were 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 2008 Ⅰ didn't survive the first year of his life.
