An unusually brave, mischievous, and curious fluffy lad — a whiskered rascal, a tail-waving troublemaker, and a bold fluffy teaser 😅
Akkem is not afraid of people and does try to avoid them at all. He is an extraordinary little manul!

On the Asaiyama Zoo website they made a blogpost about finishing Grushas new enclosure. It is connected to his old territory through a bridge, so when the Zoo opens again on 29th of April , he has doubled his kingdom.
At the end of March of 2026, two more young manuls moved from Novosibirsk Zoo to the Greens Zoological Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre, Vantara:

Lastochka in Novosibirsk Zoo, January 7, 2024
Together with the Siberian matriarch Lastochka, we congratulate all manulovers, as well as zoologists, veterinarians, zookeepers, scientists, and volunteers — everyone who loves manuls, cares for them, and dedicates themselves to their conservation, study, and raises public awareness about them. Thank you! ❤️
This grumpy yet endlessly charming solitary cat remains a mystery to scientists. But despite its secretive and unsociable nature, the manul has managed to unite thousands of people around the world and give them the chance to feel like part of something great, bright, and deeply meaningful—and that is truly something special. Thank you, great manul! 🧡
Support scientists, zoos, or simply tell your friends about manuls and their uniqueness — today is the perfect day to do it! 🙌🏻
And come join us this evening for our special manul livestream — it’s going to be fun and exciting! 😉
Happy International Pallas's Cat Day!
Riddle: Guess the Pallas's cat 🤓
A festive riddle 😁
On a sunny spring day, Pallas's cats gathered in the Mongolian steppe to celebrate their holiday—Pallas's Cat Day. The master of the steppe—the wild Pallas's cat—welcomed guests from various countries and zoos.
During the merry dance, all the guests got mixed up, and now it's impossible to tell who's who. The task is to identify all the visiting Pallas's cats, and also find the master of the steppe—the wild Pallas's cat.

Shafran had his left hind leg amputated 😥
News from Ueno Zoo
Взято с https://www.tokyo-zoo.net/ueno/news/11153/index.html
"We would like to inform you that we have performed the amputation of the left hind leg of our Pallas's cat, "Saffron." News updated April 15, 2026.
As previously reported in the news, Saffron, a Pallas's cat kept at Ueno Zoo (born April 13, 2024), has been hospitalized for an extended period due to a fracture and deformed fusion that occurred shortly after birth.
After repeated discussions between the veterinarian and the caretaker regarding the possibility of preserving the limb, the bone destruction of the phalanges was significant due to the spread of inflammation caused by the deformed fusion, so the left hind limb was amputated.
The surgery was performed on February 12, 2026. The postoperative recovery has been good, and Saffron was discharged on March 2nd of the following month. Since then, she has been staying in a non-exhibition area. Considering her long hospital stay from shortly after birth, she will be undergoing rehabilitation for some time. It will likely be some time before she can be shown to everyone, but please be patient while Saffron recovers her strength and muscle mass.
Надеюсь что всё обойдется как можно лучше😢
Yus from Ueno Zoo has passed away 🌈
Sad news from Ueno Zoo
Sad news came from Ueno Zoo: on April 8, 2026, the beautiful Yus passed away 💔
Photo: Ueno Zoo
She lived a very long manul life—she was nearly 16 years old 🙏🏻
Yus was born on May 4, 2010, at Ueno Zoo together with her brothers Naim and Doro to the manuls Bayar and Lalaa. She spent her entire life at her home zoo.
In recent years, the staff had noted age-related changes in Yus, though she maintained a good appetite and remained under close observation by specialists. In early March, her condition worsened, and after examination she was diagnosed with an esophageal disease. Despite veterinary care, sadly, Yus could not be saved.
