Photo Book 'Puma no Kazoku' Featuring the Baby Puma from 'Unbelievable Experience!' Sells Out and Goes into Reprint Immediately After Release

On June 17, the special episode of 'Unbelievable Experience! Ambirivabo' titled 'Heartwarming and Shocking Animal Ranking SP' introduced 'Caf,' a young puma living at Morioka City Zoo ZOOMO, as the number one 'idol animal' worth visiting in person.

Caf, a female puma, recently celebrated her first birthday on June 10. She was hand-reared after experiencing a sudden decline in strength just three days after birth.

The program highlighted the zoo's determination and trial-and-error efforts to reintegrate Caf from artificial rearing back to her mother Nina. After the broadcast, social media was flooded with emotional responses such as 'She overcame the crisis so bravely,' 'The zoo staff's teamwork was incredible,' and 'Thank you to mother Nina and her siblings for accepting Caf.'

Now, the photo book 'Puma no Kazoku' (Tatsumi Publishing), supervised by Morioka City Zoo ZOOMO and chronicling the growth of Caf and the zoo's puma family, has gone into reprint—just under a week after its initial release.

The book also details Caf's journey beyond what was shown on TV.

After being successfully reintegrated with her mother and siblings and making her debut in the outdoor enclosure, Caf suffered a fracture and faced a long hospitalization. The book captures the keepers' emotional struggles and the family's challenging year in a full-color, 176-page volume.

Wild pumas typically become independent around one year of age. The pumas at Morioka City Zoo ZOOMO are also expected to move to different zoos in the near future, separating from their parents. The time to witness the close-knit family bond is limited. 'Puma no Kazoku' serves as an irreplaceable record of a once-in-a-lifetime year of family unity.
