The Pallas’s cat, also known as the manul, is a small wild cat found in the grasslands and steppes of Central Asia. It was first discovered in 1776 by the naturalist Peter Simon Pallas, who named the cat after himself. The Pallas’s cat is well adapted to its environment with its thick fur and stocky build, which help it survive in the harsh conditions of its high-altitude habitat. Despite being the size of a house cat, the Pallas’s cat is often mistaken for a larger feline due to its thick fur. These cats are solitary creatures, only seeking out company during mating season, and they have a unique appearance with their flat ears and broad faces.
