Timofey Manul from the Moscow Zoo lost weight by the summer

In the Moscow Zoo, Timofey manul lost weight by the summer. This was reported in the zoo's Telegram channel on Tuesday, June 10.

"The symbol of the Moscow Zoo has again easily demonstrated the wonders of gaining weight in winter and then losing it by the summer season. Now Pallas's cat weighs only 3.7 kg," the Moscow City News agency quotes the message.

In winter, the weight of the animal was more than 7 kg.

It is noted that Timofey is active in the summer — he often goes out for walks and likes to bask in the sun, and in wet weather manul mostly hides in a house, writes RIAMO.

According to Svetlana Akulova, general director of the Moscow zoo, Timofey is fed 6 days a week, and one day is a fasting day. In addition, by the summer season, manul's fur has become less dense compared to winter clothing.
