The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums

Posted in ,

Last week, we brought you the Wildlife Heritage Foundation‘s cuddly baby Pallas Cats.  These tiny babies are growing up fast, so catch them while they’re in their full kittenly glory. The Pallas Cats, seen here at 5 and 6 weeks old, are doing well and keepers at WHF predict more hijinx in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

    Yes! Please keep us updated on their progress! In the 6-week video, Mom, by peering over the board, shows why Pallas cats have those low-set ears for better hiding.

    I hadn’t thought about that as the reason to explain the unusual ears, but it makes sense. They sure are beautiful.

    These guys are cute, but I’ll bet they would rip you a nice new face if you approached inside the magic distance. I guess that’s one reason I rather like wild animals. Watch. Take notes. Marvel. Do not pet.

    I wonder why they would post a bunch of video of themselves scaring their new kittens? That seems weird. Better to set it up to show them playing and having fun than being terrified, surely?

    Oh, there they are again, those most adorable fuzzballs! Very cute peeking out from their new front door. We can see their mama being such a good kittymom, too. Getting quite brave (almost), those little ones! We all WANT one–or two! Those round pupils are so amazing to see, just mesmerizing! Since the fuzzies are wild animals and we can’t have one–or two, we’re grateful for all the lil kitty videos we can get. Thank you!

    Those fuzzy, low-set ears must have something to do with living in the intense cold, too.

    Are pallas cats’ immune systems not too weak to be in contact with humans?

    They’re WILD cats, they’re not meant to be friendly.

    Does anyone understand why the first video of the Pallis cats seems simply MEAN. Without any explanation it would appear that a scary noise above them keeps the kittens very anxious and fearful. That cannot be what is going on. Please tell us what is actually happening.

    Can these kittens be obtained for domestic conditions. Would love to have one if they can be tamed at all.

    A bit late to reply, but I agree, this video is simply MEAN. Pallas’ cats are by nature private and shy, which is why the mother is so anxious, constantly looking at the person with the camera and attempting to keep her kittens hidden. It may be fun for the zoos and others to breed Pallas’cats, but it would be better if we put all efforts into protecting their natural habitats from human encroachment, as it would be for all wild creatures of course.
