突传噩耗：“狲尚香”离世！网友：为什么这么难......
双语君约 4 分钟The Qinghai Wildlife Rescue and Breeding Center issued a statement on Monday reporting the passing of a female Pallas's cat named Sun Shangxiang in the early hours of Mar 14 due to acute duodenal ulcer perforation.
On Mar 11 at noon, staff members observed that Sun Shangxiang was lethargic and had lost her appetite. Blood tests and abdominal ultrasound examinations indicated an elevated white blood cell count and the presence of ascites. Initially diagnosed with bacterial peritonitis, she received intravenous fluid treatment for three days. Unfortunately, she succumbed to her illness in the early morning of Mar 14.
China's only captive male Pallas's cat, Sun Simiao, died at the age of seven and a half after choking on chicken while eating, according to an obituary released on Oct 10, 2022 by Xining Wildlife Park, where Sun Simiao used to live while alive.
The Pallas's cat, the only species in the Otocolobus genus within the Felidae family, is designated as a second-level protected wild animal in China. The Xining Wildlife Park is the sole zoo in the country where visitors can observe Pallas's cats. The recent deaths of these "internet-famous" Pallas's cats have once again brought attention to the breeding and care challenges facing this rare species.
