First Ever Birth of Pallas’ Kittens with the Help of Advanced Science

PcatKits9wka

Three healthy Pallas’ Cat kittens (two males and one female) were born on June 8th, 2011 at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden following a laparoscopic oviductal artificial insemination (AI) procedure conducted by scientists from theCincinnati Zoo’s Center for Conservation and Research of Endangered Wildlife(CREW).  This pregnancy and birth are the first ever in Pallas’ Cats from artificial insemination.

The AI procedure was performed using laparoscopy or minimally invasive surgery combined with a new oviductal insemination technique for cats that was developed at CREW.  The Zoo’s female Pallas’ Cat, Sophia, was treated with two hormones to stimulate ovarian follicle growth and ovulation and then was inseminated in both oviducts with semen collected from the Zoo’s male Pallas’ Cat, Buster.  Three healthy kittens were born following a 69 day gestation.  The kittens, now 9 weeks of age, are being raised by their mother in an off-exhibit enclosure.

Feisty Pallas’s Kittens at Wildlife Heritage Foundation

The UK’s Wildlife Heritage Foundation announced the birth of four Pallas’s Cat kittens on May 28th to proud parents Tula (F) and Wei Shand (M). Tula is doing a fabulous job of caring for all her new kittens and they are growing up very fast!  In the following videos the kittens can be seen at 5 days old and then 3 weeks old, which helps give you an idea of how quickly these kittens are developing.

Note that what appears to be hissing in the second video is actually the kittens smelling the keepers when they come to check-in. The WHF explains that they are actually quite relaxed and this open-mouthed smelling behavior dissipates as they get older.

UPDATE: Just got this new video in along with new instructions – #1) Avoid bright light #2) Don’t get them wet and #3) NEVER feed them after midnight.
