Hi, seems like Iris got relocated to a new enclosure, what do we know about this move, is it temporary? This looks like a downgrade to me..
As far as we know, a major renovation of many enclosures is planned at the Kobe Oji zoo. I believe Iris’s relocation is connected to that 
Yes. According to some X posts by manul lovers, they’ll demolish his old house (Neko Nagaya/Cat Apartment) soon and build a new enclosure in the future.
The renewal plan is written here. (Sorry, it’s only in Japanese)
They say they’ll start building the new area for Iris (World Feline Zone) in 2031. We have to wait for such a long time. Well, Iris will be pretty old then…In the meantime, I hope he can spend his time as stress-free as possible.
Six years?! Poor Iris – I can’t believe he’ll have to wait such a long time!
Im going to be honest with u there is a massive chance Iris is gonna spend the rest of his life there
