Zara—the gorgeous Pallas's cat, who used to live in Leningrad zoo.
She 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 Zara is not with us anymore. She passed away on August 13, 2007, she was four months 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 Zara didn't survive the first year of his life.
Zara was given her name in Leningrad zoo where she was born. Read more about the names of Zara.
