  • This is very interesting information about the Manul cat. I will have to go check them out at the San Diego Zoo.

  • Thank-you for the wonderful photos. We have Pallas Cats at the San Diego Zoo and they are my very favorite animal. The best time to see them is always just before closing or at night-time zoo.

  • Some information about the Manul/Pallas Cat according Wikipedia: Pallas's Cat (Felis manul), also known as the Manul, is a small wild cat of Central Asia. It was formerly the only species in the genus Otocolobus, but it now placed in the genus Felis along with the Domestic Cat and the Wildcat. It is 60 cm (24 in) long, not including its 25 cm (10 in) tail. Its fur is ochre in color with vertical bars, which are sometimes not visible due to the thick fur. This cat has several features that distinguish it from other felines. Its legs are short, the rump is rather bulky, and the fur is long and thick. The combination of its stout posture and its thick fur makes it appear especially buxom and plushy. The fur changes between the seasons: the winter coat is greyer and less patterned. Its ears are set low and give the cat a somewhat owl-like appearance. Because of its relatively flat face, it was once thought that it was the ancestor of the Persian cat breed. Pallas's Cat inhabits the Asian steppes up to heights of 4000 m (13,000 ft). It hunts at night for rodents, pikas and birds.
