Together with the park’s environmental education team, we held a lesson for children where we told the youngest residents of Kosh-Agach about their wild, fluffy neighbor — the manul.

During the lesson, the kids learned many interesting facts about the manul. Together we watched the cartoon “Children of Maana,” inspired by an Altai folk tale, and also practiced drawing a fluffy rock! 😁

Grusha is scheduled to move to a new enclosure on April 29. The zoo shared and showed what this new home will look like.

The new fenced area consists of an area with artificial rocks and a grassy area. Artificial rocks:

This type of enclosure was created because Pallas's cats hide not only in rocky but also in grassy areas.

I took an emergency day off work today and visited the gang of Bat-Erdene, Altai and Khutga today at their new home. How exciting! We were playing a bit of a game of hide and seek, but with patience they gave more of a show than expected. Very brave 😻

Living in the North of England, I am so happy to now have two zoos (Edinburgh Zoo and Lakeland) that are both two hours drive from me. Manul day trips! 😻😻😻

Traditionally, the mating season for manuls at the Novosibirsk Zoo begins in February and continues through April.

This year, the handsome George, the eldest son of Zelenogorsk, is once again courting the beautiful Mia — a well-known and beloved fluffy lady of sorrow with an alluring look… oh, what a character she has! 😈

It’s not easy for George to find the key to Mia’s heart this year, and even harder to ask her out. He might even end up stuck in a tree again! 😅🙈

Please, support George in the comments!

George, you are the best! 😺

Sadly, the wonderful Eva, who had lived here since 2016 and brought many minuls into the world, has passed away. She was 9 years old.

Thus, Red River Zoo is now home to three manuls: Yeshi, Midas, and Mira. 🐾

So the manul journeys continue!

Let’s see who went where:

💛 The fluffy señorita Ariunaa from La Torbiera has moved to Zoo Brno in the Czech Republic. There are now two Pallas’s cats living there!

We wonder if Ariunaa has already met the grumpy Siberian handsome Muztau🥰

Poznań Zoo reports that Bożenka the Pallas’s cat has been found! Hooray! 🎉

The zoo announces that Bożenka has returned — safe, healthy, and… looking as if she just came back from a weekend in the city rather than an unexpected escape 😼

According to reports, Bożenka was most likely roaming not far from the zoo grounds. She was spotted near Lake Malta and also around the Olszak Pond area.

The fluffy traveler was eventually found on the zoo grounds near the nocturnal animals pavilion, which is located not far from the zoo’s main entrance.

Most importantly — she is in good condition! 🙏
Bożenka will remain under observation until Monday to make sure everything is truly fine.
