For now, that’s all the minuls we know about (mainly thanks to the Manulization website).
But there are cases like Tashi, born in July and Pecky, born in August, so we can’t rule out the possibility that more may still be added?!
So for now, a total of 52, now 54, minuls—grow up healthy and strong~.
(Added on August 10, 2026)
We received information from anna_yu, and Amazonia Zoo has a pair made up of “the daughter of Lolo born in 2024” and “the son of Eve born in 2023,” and it turned out they became the parents of two minuls, so I added them. That brings the total to 54!

This is truly the year of the minuls!
Maternity ward 2026 👏
Image 🔥
Adel + Zhora, apparently, on April 28. Vika, Roma, is this confirmed or just city gossip?
Thank you for this chronology! Otherwise, at some point I had already started getting confused about who was where, who was with whom, and whose was whose. The image is beautiful! The concept is amazing!
Oh, Mimi is not easy to figure out — we don’t even know her kittens’ birthdays)
A true bumper crop of minuls! 2026 will go down as a great year in manul history!! I wish health and strength to all the precious kittens. 💚💚
The best news and a timeline of such happiness more often)
Az, Adele and Ariunaa all had huge litters. I hope the little mischief-makers don't stress them out too much. Mamanul is a hard job.
Achi 🔥🔥🔥
The worker stayed on in place of Zelka.
Zhora, little slacker.....the best little slacker.
Алина, Zhora initially has fewer chances. He is the son of Zelenogorsk and Lastochka. And Achi is the son of Karaganda and the grandson of Lastochka. Thus, Zhora can hardly be paired with anyone in N-sk, while Achi can be paired with almost everyone.
Pavel Burov, Now I understand why Achi has become the Manul Father of the Year.
grushalevson, Especially sweet little Ariunaa who's barely more than a minul herself! (So many young mamanuls this year! Lucy and Zaya are babies too!!)
54!
Unexpectedly discovered two more manul kittens born at Amazonia Zoo.

anna_yu, MORE?!?!
anna_yu, Wow! Thank you for the information!
Wheeeeee! Also Prrrrrrrrr
anna_yu, Oh! Our little speedsters really sped things up.
anna_yu, Wow! Now that’s news!
Feel so happy for the manuls of O[].t
Same with the manuls of O0Bl1

Pavel Burov, And are such theoretically close blood relations among cousins safe? This factor still worries me.
Вика, There are almost no close kinship ties there. For the Novosibirsk manuls, you could say they’re not even related at all.
Look at this counterintuitive point. A half-brother and half-sister from different mothers. The boy has his father’s Y chromosome and some X chromosome from mother 1. The girl has her father’s X chromosome and some X chromosome from mother 2. In (the first approximation), they have no shared code at all. From the standpoint of reproduction, they’re not related at all.
Pavel Burov, Thank you so much
This year is fantastically rich in manul kittens!🤩
Maeko, thank you for the manul list: it’s such a joy to read it again 😁👌🏻
There’s reason to suspect it will grow even more!
Pavel Burov, Aaa, plin-plin, we forgot to clarify 🙈
Let’s clarify!

My worn-out costume creaks again,
And reason is chilled by (no) impatience:
— But where are the minuls? Where is the showroom?
How can one live for years in amazement?
