Red River Zoo: Pallas' Cat, Russian Red Tree Squirrel

[guppiecat]

Continuing my Red River Zoo in Fargo set. Today is all about the Pallas' Cat and the Russian Red Tree Squirrel. These two animals are pretty rare in zoos, and I'm happy that I was able to see them here. (Yes, I know that it should really be "Pallas's Cat", but the grammatical error seems to the "right" nomenclature in the naturalist community, so that's what I'm using.)




No wonder Marco Polo was so cranky
