I visited Kobe Animal Kingdom a few days ago.

At the nearest station, Keisan Kagaku Center, you can see the poster of the Kobe minuls right under Ootani-san!

Then, I entered the zoo. It was at just 10:00 a.m.

After watching sand cats, flamingos, etc, I entered the Asian Forest where manuls live.

Mama-Az and her minuls were in the right enclosure.

It was difficult to take good photos of minuls, but at around 13:00, I could barely take this.

About an hour later, I could see two minuls lying flatly on the ground.

It was a very hot day, so minuls often chilled out around the doorway to the backyard.

In the afternoon, I could see Mama-Az chilling out on the rock.

Az looked she raised her minuls while taking moderate breaks. A wise mama.

And, Daddy-Nar had recovered from the inflammation and looked fine!

They sold some manul-themed desserts at the restaurants.

I had one of them, a Manul Parfait.

I enjoyed the visit.

I look forward to watching the minuls grow up😊

    Thank you so much for the news and photos! Have a successful trip! 

    The minuls have flattened themselves against the ground from the heat, in Uncle Figa’s style)) 

    In our city, guests are greeted at the train station and airport by posters of the local rugby team, while in Kobe — minuls! That’s so cute)
