So exciting to not just have more photos of these wonderful manuls, but finally know their names!

“Batu” seems to a be a popular manul name! There’s a Batu at Prospect Park as well. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

When I took the pictures yesterday their names were unknown to me, it was right after I got home I noticed you updated their page. :blush: Thank you for figuring out their names!

Haha, yes, you’re right! Looks like Batu is quite a popular manul name! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Wow, what a coincidence! That’s pure manul magic! :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :raising_hands:
Thanks again for the photos — they’re amazing! By the way, have you seen Fay too?

Fay was nowhere to be seen unfortunately. Next time I will make sure to ask staff about her, usually they come out of their huts very late. I had to wait 4 hours in order to see Batu!

Oh! I know exactly how you feel! It’s especially funny (or not funny! :smiling_face_with_horns: ) when you’ve been waiting for them aaaall day, and then he comes out of his den (no — not even comes out, just peeks out!), sees you, and goes right back to sleep! :laughing:

I know that in spring (May) Fay was kept off-exhibit just in case she might be pregnant.
If you get the chance, please ask the zookeepers about her! It would be wonderful to know how she’s doing. Thank you! :raising_hands:
