Asked sharp questions:
— Who allowed the rain? Ban it again!

The fourth mamanul at the Novosibirsk Zoo!
Meet Eva and her kittens!
Eva has become a mother for the third time already! The father is presumably Achi

One of them is very persistent 😁:

Timofey came out
Timofey in Moscow zoo, June 13, 2026
Today Timosha came out early. He walked along the shelves, waiting for the keepers.
Have there ever been any known albino manuls

The keepers cleaned the enclosure and hid the rat. A tasty rat.
⚡New rare camera trap footage!
Hooray, we have wild news from wild ginger Pallas’s cats! 🧡😃
Camera traps have gifted us several very valuable shots from Turkmenistan. Manuls were captured in two mountain ranges of the country: the Kopet Dag range, which stretches along the border with Iran, and the Kichi-Balkan range in northwestern Turkmenistan.
Map of Turkmenistan: the Kopet Dag range is marked with a red marker, and the Kichi-Balkan range with a blue one.
The video from Kichi-Balkan became the first camera-trap video record of a manul on this range — one of Turkmenistan’s new nature reserves!
Wallpaper with Pallas's cats
Good day, could you share some good high-resolution photos of Pallas's cats? I’d be very grateful
Did you know that today a genuine scientific study was conducted on the Manulization website? The topic of the study is “On the Use of Forms of Russian Personal Names in the Context of Applied Manulology.” The author of the study is Viktoria Malyshko.
The study was prompted by a question from a Malization participant mnamosyna (rachael).

The most summery Siberian birthday floofs! 🎉
Today, the fluffy Siberian offsprings of Zelenogorsk are celebrating their sixth birthday: Timofey, Chip, Lolo, and Pepe! 🎂
Timofey
A symbol and star of the Moscow Zoo. He still hasn't found a bride, but this year he has found a personal manulover-photographer, Pavel Burov.
Just look at the amazing photos this creative duo, Tima and Pavel, makes! 🤩

Akiko spring pilgrimage 🏴🐾
Today was time for another regular Akiko pilgrimage to Edinburgh! He put on a real show and was very active, and very angry! ❤️🐾
Akiko in Edinburgh Zoo, June 8, 2026
He is such a great example of a grumpy classic Manul. Well done Akiko ❤️🐾
Half of the enclosure was closed off and a new nesting box seen....👀👀👀 I hope Akiko is on his best behaviour and puts on his most attractive fur coat!
Enjoy the pictures - hopefully some videos also will load! ❤️
Happy Birthday Shu!
The fluffy treasure of Leningrad Zoo, dear Shu Svenovich, turns 3 today!
Shu in Leningrad zoo, March 18, 2026
Happy Birthday Shu!
We wish you all the manul joy, and strong health, the tastiest quails, the coziest hammocks, and, of course, may his fluffy wife always be gentle to you 😁
Shu, always stay brave, active, curious, and amazing manul! Live a long and happy life, bringing joy to all of us, dear cat!
What else shall we wish this birthday fluffy bun? 🥰
Hide has moved to Asahiyama Zoo ❄️
One wonders if Grusha knows about it already!
On June 10, the young one-year-old handsome Hide, the fluffy son of Minya and Eru (El) , moved from his paternal home to Asahiyama Zoo ❄️
Right after arriving, Hide was restless and for a while paced back and forth in his indoor enclosure, which is completely normal when getting used to a new place. But he is doing well! 🙏
Their roundness is unlimited
What a sweet little Zhora!🥹❤️
George in Novosibirsk Zoo, June 8, 2026
There’s a video of him approaching (0:05), but it won’t load (frame 02.06.26)
There are as many as 6 minunls in Brno!
"We’re doing as promised. A few days ago we shared the joyful news with you about the birth of tiny minunls. And yet in the video you could see only three kittens.
So we’re very happy that we have not three or four, but six little ones!
Their mother is taking good care of them in her den, but we believe that soon you’ll see them exploring their outdoor enclosure.
We look forward to your visit."

We all love little manuls.
We all love little manuls. And Lolo and Snezhinka and Timosha and Tsar Boris of Krasnoyarsk, and Zhora, and in general all the manuls in the world!
I can’t catch sight of Timofey
Every time I go to the Moscow Zoo, I can’t manage to see Timofey…. He’s such a secretive manul :( Does anyone know when he can be seen? Maybe he comes out at a certain time, like when they feed him?
A minul has been born at Budapest Zoo! 🤩
The minuls season continues!
This time the happy news came from Budapest Zoo: the lovely Lucy and Bohus have had a kitten!
The first veterinary checkup was carried out the other day, and it turned out that the little one is male.
The zoo reports that he is healthy, developing well, and delighting the staff with his excellent appetite. With each passing day, he is becoming braver: he is coming out of their house more often and exploring the world around him with growing confidence.
Happy birthday to Achi and Adele! 🥳
Today we’re wishing a happy birthday to Achi and Adele! 🥳
Our dear fluffy birthday manuls have turned 6!
This year, Adele became a mamanul for the first time and brought little fluffy babies into the world.
Adele in Novosibirsk Zoo, June 2, 2026
We wish Adele strength, good health, and motherly patience, lots of delicious meat treats, the coziest shady spots to relax, and that she always remains the most beautiful, big-eyed, fluffy cat-model mom around! 😻
And we wish her little ones to grow up healthy, strong, and, of course, very serious and grumpy manuls!
Help identify this Pallas's cat
Today at the Moscow Zoo I had the chance to see a Pallas's cat from an angle that makes identification difficult. I’m turning to the manul community for help identifying the Pallas's cat from the photo.
