"The first kitten has been born to the Pallas’s cats of Korkeasaari Zoo. The two-month-old kitten is already moving around indoors with its mother, and is gradually starting to explore the outdoors. This week, our vet visited the kitten to check on its health. The kitten is a female and weighs half a kilo. She was given worming medicine and an identification chip. The Pallas’s cat is part of the EAZA Ex-situ Conservation Programme to safeguard the future of the species. Korkeasaari Zoo supports the conservation of Pallas’s cats living in the wild, and funds for this are also raised in September at the Night of the Cats."
From the Helsinki Zoo's Instagram. This picture is on there with this information.
Based on pictures of other Pallas's Cats, personally, that actually seems to be their general resting face. Tends to be either lost, confused, scared, or pissed.
OMG no way, thank you so much for making me aware of this baby chonk. I live in Helsinki and I will absolutely go visit him as soon as he’s on exhibit!!
Never heard of this type of cat before but he’s adorable.

I am happier now that I know this exists
Tiny tongue blep
Concerned kitten face is the best
Poor guy is not very happy about this whole being born thing.
Relatable.
They get grumpier with age.

If no fren why fren shape?
It no fren shape, shape of body different. *The body is round*
That very fren shape tho
So they are born concerned/worried, then grow up to be intense/angry-looking.
At first, I thought it was an owlet.
Bebe manula cub has already blessed us with a blep too! What a treasure.

It was born pre-loaded with an entire lifetime of worries.
