The mating season has officially begun for the manuls at the Novosibirsk Zoo!
Yesterday, the doors between some of the enclosures were opened — which means the mating season for manuls has begun.
Here are the pairs we spotted:
🔥 Handsome Bandit has become a groom for the very first time in his life!
We haven’t caught a glimpse of his bride yet, but one thing is clear: the boy is astounded!
A whole new territory packed with unfamiliar scents (a quick reminder: Bandit has never moved from his enclosure since kittenhood) is hitting him with a whole storm of feelings. So much new, unknown, and most importantly – unmarked!🤭
🍓 And then it gets even hotter: Matriarch Lastochka was spotted with a young suitor, Evchik . Whoa-whoa!
❤️🔥 But the true headliners of the season are George and Mia !
These two have already managed to sit peacefully side by side and get into a fight. We’ll see how it goes... anyway, there are plenty of trees in the enclosure 😈
Let’s wish all Siberian manuls magical romantic dates… with fluffy consequences! 🤞🏻

Cool!!! And it doesn't matter whether there will be kittens or not, it's all about some variety in the lives of pets.
Julia, Oh yeah! It's clear the Pallas's cats are experiencing so many new emotions and excitement at once! 💓😍

I'm waiting for Mia to move Zhora up to the branches with the crows 😁

Best of luck, especially to the first-time suitors!! <3 May spring bless us with many kittens!
