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😊
