Full name: Abram Petrovich Gannibal.
A tribute to Major-General Abram Petrovich Gannibal, 1696-1791, an African kidnapped and brought to Russia as a gift for Peter the Great. He became a major-general, military engineer, governor of Reval and nobleman of the Russian Empire. Perhaps best known today as the great-grandfather of Alexander Pushkin.
At 7 days old, Gannibal is the darkest of the litter and the most voracious of all. Unsurprisingly, he is visibly bigger than his littermates.
