It is time once again to go behind the scenes at Lake Superior Zoo to learn more about one of their attractions The Pallas cat named Pabu. This beautiful animal is housed in the Nocturnal building at the Lake Superior Zoo which is now open to the public again. This small wild cat can be found in cold and hilly areas in Central Asia and Western China.
Pallas cats like some household cats are solitary animals, meaning they like to be on their own and enjoy their own space. They are about the size of an average house cat but seem to be much larger due to their long dense coat. Pabu seems to like to watch guests as they visit some of the exhibits near them like the Prehensile-tailed porcupine but will quickly retreat when approached.

DULUTH, Minn.– The Lake Superior Zoo opened back up Saturday, being among the outdoor venues allowed to open in Minnesota under the governor’s updated COVID-19 guidelines.
Guests walked the grounds of the zoo again after it was closed since last month. One group visiting from hours away says they were checking out Bentleyville last night and when they heard the zoo was open again they had to bring the grandkids to check out all of the animals at the zoo.
“It’s fun for the kids and to be able to go outside and do something in these times means a lot to get some fresh air. And they love animals,” Vicki Schmidt of Park Falls, Wisconsin, who was visiting for the weekend with her grandkids Layla and Blake.

DULUTH, Minn. – With Governor Walz lifting some restrictions across the state beginning Saturday, some outdoor entertainment venues are reopening, including the Lake Superior Zoo.
During the past four weeks, there was little guest activity at the Lake Superior Zoo, as it was closed because of the governor’s orders but now with new restrictions, the zoo is able to open yet again.
There have been no visitors, but caring for the animals behind the scenes still incurred the same amount of costs, which resulted in a challenging situation for zoo management.
