16 Adorable Wild Cats Born In Siberian Zoo
Pallas' Cat breeds have been in the Novosibirsk zoo since 1995. Kittens are distributed in zoological parks of the world in the framework of international and European conservation programs. The descendants of the Pallas' Cats living in Novosibirsk are now in Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, France, Switzerland, Austria and Great Britain. The species is hard to breed in captivity and has a high mortality rate. In the wild, it lives in rocky deserts and semi-arid areas from Central Asia to Mongolia. It's endangered due to degradation of its habitat and being hunted for fur.
