it turns out, in two days i will be visiting tierpark Berlin! i will visit in the morning before we drive to hannover.

in chemnitz zoo, i had much more luck! we got there early and cold, i thought the manuls would be more likely to be out.

and before we got to the enclosure, i noticed a sign with a manul on it!

we made our way to the manuls and saw some other adorable cats! my mum said she saw something running around in the manul enclosure 👀

it was bob!

i was unable to get a good photo because he was running so much and went to hide, sorry! 🥺

but after looking at the other small cats, we came to look back and found tuya!

    I feel like I'm getting quite the death glare from Miss Tuya in that last picture. 😂 I surrender and apologize for whatever offense I have caused you, oh wonderful manul, please don't shoot! 😁

    so pleased you had a successful trip & got to see Bob & Tuya - I just wanted to say there are 3 manuls at Tierpark Berlin -  Charu & Chengdu right at the top of the Himalayan section of the zoo & Maneki-Neko who is another section of the zoo not far from the striped hyena - if you don’t have a lot of time as the Himalayan section is quite a walk you may just want to visit Maneki-Neko who might be easier to spot 😊 I’ve done a screenshot of the area she is in - Good luck with your manul adventure - hope you have time to see all of them 🤞🏻

    Caroline Townsend, thank you so much! ☺️ we may be able to see all 3 if theyre out because we will spend most of the day in berlin, as we have nothing planned to do in hannover. 🙂

    Seeing Tuya in Pema's old space is such a bittersweet kind of feeling. I'm sad she's gone, but her beautiful granddaughter is ruling the place now!

    ангел 🐾, That’s great news so hopefully you will see all 3 & get some photos of them 🤞🏻 There is a bench you can sit on near Charu & Chengdu so you can sit & observe & enjoy the view from the top of the Himalayan section 😁 Have a good trip! 😊

    Wow! What an amazing trip!

    Vika and I wish you good luck in Berlin!

    We really love the Himalaya section in Berlin, where the manul enclosure is located right at the top, as if crowning the whole exhibit and showing who’s boss at the zoo!😹

    By the way, in the Himalaya section opposite the manul enclosure there really is a very convenient bench for waiting for manuls😻 Though during our visits we practically never saw any manuls there 😹

    It’s so wonderful to realize that more and more manulovers are planning their trips around zoos with manuls! 😅🔥 That’s really so cool!

    Thank you so much for the photo! I really like Chemnitz Zoo; it’s very quiet, calm, and cozy there.

    By the way, I have to say that in your photos, the handsome Bob is there, not Tuya 🤗🤓
