Timofey Manul from the Moscow Zoo gained 5.9 kg as part of his internship.

The Moscow Zoo reported that a manul named Timofey is actively preparing for winter — his diet has been increased to gain weight. This was reported in the zoo's Telegram channel on Wednesday, October 22.

Zoologists note that to maintain the animal's health, they arrange a fasting day once a week. Timofey is fed from one to three times a day, depending on the size of the portions, and the feeding and cleaning times are constantly changed to avoid addiction and stress, the Moscow City News agency reports.

Currently, manul's weight is 5.9 kg, and the target is 6.5 kg by the onset of cold weather. Clarifies the site kp.ru .
