There is currently only Akiko at the zoo however I was talking with the zookeepers and they are planning on getting him a wife soon. There may be some baby manul here in the near future :slight_smile:

I met Akiko in August when he was still at Banham Zoo! He had just been with the vet, and in retrospect I guess they were checking his health before his move to Edinburgh.

I’m glad he’ll have somewhere to start his own family now.

We’re happy to hear that they wanna breed Pallas’s cats :slight_smile: Hope they will have kittens in coming Spring!

Had my first visit of the year just yesterday, Akiko seems to be enjoying the snow here, even if he only showed his face 20 minutes before the zoo closed so I barely got to see him :sob:

I miss him! I hope he is settling into his new home well. He used to nap in a hammock high up in his enclosure at Banham – I hope there’s a good napping spot in Edinburgh!

You know, Edinburgh is easily the most accessible manul zoo in the UK, maybe it would make a good Manulization Field Trip…

What a handsome boy! :heart_eyes: And that looks like a really nice enclosure he has there too!
