Cute and Adorable Pallas Cat
Hello Hoomans! Today i want to tell you about another cute and adorable animal called Pallas cat.
The Pallas (Otocolobus manul) cat is a small wildcat known for his unusual adn adorable look. They can be found in the grassland and montane steppes of Central Asia. And named after the German naturalist Peter Simon Pallas.
Compared to domestic cats, Pallas Cat is shorter and plumper, his size is about 40-60 centimeters and its tail alone can reach 30 centimeters! While weighing about 2 to 4 pounds. And unlike other cats, the pupils of Pallas’ cats contract into small circles rather than vertical slits.
They have a unique face like a tiger. Genetic studies estimate that Otocolobus Manul is a leopard hunter who suffered a genetic drift about 5,190,000 years ago.
