На днях в вольерах котят в Новосибирском зоопарке появились новые игрушки!
Особенно котятам понравились мячики: они весело бегают с ними по всей территории, подкидывают и иногда даже пытаются отобрать друг у друга.
В общем, чем не настоящий манулий футбол!?

New toys were recently added to the manul kittens' enclosures in Novosibirsk zoo!
The kittens especially liked the balls: they are having fun running with them all over the territory, tossing them, and sometimes even trying to take them away from each other.
If that's not real manul soccer, what is? ?

The video shows a young fluffy soccer player from Lolo's team ?

Зеленогорск, несомненно, главный гедонист манульего мира ??
Сам умеет получать удовольствие от жизни, так ещё и с лёгкостью поднимает настроение всем окружающим – вот, смотрите, какая кайфушечка! ?

Zelenogorsk is undoubtedly the main hedonist in the manul world ??
He knows how to enjoy life and effortlessly makes everyone around him happier. Look, what bliss! ?

? Как вы уже знаете, у манула Лоло в Новосибирском зоопарке родились манулята!
Семеро пушистых комочков появились на свет 12 апреля: три мальчика и четыре девочки.

Для Лоло это первый опыт материнства, но она хорошо справляется: все котятки веселы и игривы, накормлены и вылизаны!

Под чутким присмотром мамы свои первые робкие выходы из домика для знакомства с миром манулята начали делать примерно в полтора месяца.
Пушистые сорванцы очень быстро осмелели и собрать их всех в домик с каждым днём становится всё сложнее, но хорошо, что у мамы есть маленький помощник ? – об этом смотрите новое видео на нашем Ютуб-канале!

? As you already know, Pallas's cat kittens were born to Lolo the Pallas's cat at the Novosibirsk Zoo! Seven fluffy cubs came into this world April 12, 2024 – three boys and four girls.

Lolo became a mom for the first time, but she is coping well – all the kittens are cheerful and playful, well-fed, and groomed!

The kittens began to venture out from their house under the watchful eye of their mom to explore the world at about a month and a half old. The fluffs become braver and braver every day, making it more and more difficult for their mom to get them back to the house. Fortunately, she has a little helper ?.
