The Pallas’ cat or Manul cat is a type of wild feline found in Central Asia. This species has unique physical characteristics that distinguish it from other cats, including round pupils, short legs, and a flat face with ears set far apart, making them look annoyed. They were named Otocolobus which means ‘ugly-eared’ due to their unusual appearance. Despite their fluffy exterior, they are the same size and weight as domestic cats. These cats prefer living in high altitudes up to 15,000ft and thrive in cold environments. However, since they cannot run fast, they tend to hide in crevices under rocks for safety. Although these felines have amusing facial expressions, they are not suitable as pets due to their solitary and wild nature. Therefore, they are primarily found in professional zoos because they have a high risk of dying at low altitudes.
