The Moscow Zoo is constantly changing. Not only the enclosures are changing, but the animals themselves.

In this case, we will talk about the weight loss of one of the zoo's inhabitants - the Pallas's cat Timofey.

Pallas's cat Timofey, who lives in the zoo, has lost weight for the summer season. RIA Novosti reports the details with reference to the zoo's press service.

It is noted that the Pallas's cat currently weighs 3.75 kg. In winter, the animal weighed twice as much.

It is also known that such changes in weight are a feature of the Pallas's cat. The thing is that in winter it is difficult for this predator to hunt because of its short paws, so it stores fat for the cold season.
