アルタナとフェリーニ夫妻の2025年生まれのふわふわなイタリアの女の子4人組の末娘が、最近ラ・トルビエラ動物公園の家を出て、新しい住まいであるドイツのケムニッツ動物園へと旅立ちました。そこでは、婚約者のボブが彼女を待っています❤️

彼女の名前はトゥヤ(Туяа)です。モンゴル語で「一筋の光」という意味の名前です。

私たちはラ・トルビエラで、写真に写っているような子グマだった頃の女の子たち全員に会うことができて幸運でした🥰

私たちは彼ら全員と新しい家で再会できることを願っています。

  • バイオトピア・ダンケルクのサラン。
  • クラクフ動物園のツァス。
  • ケムニッツ動物園のトゥヤ。
  • ブルノ動物園のアリウナ。

ふわふわした毛並みのメス猫たちはすべて、遺伝的多様性の確保、動物福祉の向上、そして種の長期的な生存の可能性を高めることを目的としたEEPプログラムの一環として、新しい飼い主のもとへ送られました。

    Oh, wow, the girls really went all over Europe!  I hope they're all settling in and not missing their sisters too much.  💚💚

    Так быстро выросли и разъехались! Теперь Алтане надо отдохнуть и подумать о новых малышах 🤗

    eetunousiainen, Probably the same person who put Lucy in with her grandfather Bohus, or Poes and Norbu together... However. The sad truth is, in Europe most manuls come from 2, maybe 3 lines that intermingled already. they're all related.

    partyontheobjective, I know, but usually they are at least third cousin, not that close. Also I may be ignorant but i don't recall Poes and Norbu having kittens nor Lucy and Bohus, while Bob is said to be Tuya's fiance

    eetunousiainen, Based on our discussions with zoologists from various zoos, we came to the conclusion that, of course, it is beneficial for a population when inbreeding is kept to a minimum. However, reality often differs from the ideal scenarios zoologists would prefer. Their job is to maintain populations under the conditions that currently exist.

    There are quite a few historical examples of populations that originated from just one or a few pairs. In zoos, these include Przewalski's horse, Père David's deer, California condor, and Guam crow. In the wild, a well-known example is the European bison.

    While looking for additional examples in nature, I came across an interesting study showing that a population of wild sheep (mouflon) on the Kerguelen Islands — which originated from a single pair — exhibited much greater genetic diversity than scientists had predicted — https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/06/070620154911.htm

    Almost all manuls in Europe are part of the EEP, and breeding pairs are determined by the species coordinator, who has the necessary education, experience, and software tools to calculate optimal pairings.

    One of the reasons for creating this website is to educate people about the breeding of wild animals in zoo conditions, where populations are limited. Yes, sometimes the decisions made by zoologists may not align with what we are used to in everyday human life. So rather than rushing to conclusions or criticism, try to see this as an opportunity to learn something new. Take a moment to understand why things are the way they are — and we will do our best to help with that.

    I have also worried about risk of inbreeding when I studied the pedigrees. Would it be possible to resolve this issue, for example to take some individs from the countries where manuls live in the wild?  Kazakhstan, China or Mongolia? I suppose there are wild animals rescue centers there and they take care of manuls sometimes and maybe could transfer they abroad. What do you think about my idea? I think inbreeding is not just EEP:s worry, that's the same for the USA, Japan Russia.

    Annika Wawrzyńska, To my the best knowledge it is not that easy.


    First, there are laws preventing taking protected animals from wildlife. Second, even with given permission it is not that simple to take an animal from the wild, and bring it to some zoo, and make it breed.

    E.g., in 2010 Moscow zoo was granted with a permission to take 8 manuls from the wild. They were lucky to capture 3 males and 5 females. Then they had to release one female 'cause she did not accept any food, obviously it was not possible to bring her to the zoo. Then it took three years to make 'em breed. To my the best knowledge there is no single alive descendant of those manuls. Some links (did not find the 4th female):
    https://manulization.com/manuls/varvara.html
    https://manulization.com/manuls/olga-dauria.html
    https://manulization.com/manuls/dauria-i.html

    It is not that simple. Zelenogorsk and Karaganda cases are unusual. To my the best understanding animal taken from the wild experiences severe amount of stress and most likely is not able to bring healthy offspring in zoo.

    I am pretty sure those folks working on manuls conservation and breeding suggest all possible options including taking individuals from the wild.

    Pavel Burov, Kinda hard to extrapolate overall morale of those involved in that bringing manuls from the wild to Moscow zoo project. Have obtained all permissions needed. Have met all ends together, brought cats to the zoo. And nothing.

    Pretty happy I am not a zoologist. Such a disaster would hurt pretty badly.
