INFO ABOUT THE ANIMAL:
Name: Pallas's Cat (Otocolobus manul)
Location: Asia: from Caspian sea to Mongolia
Size: 60 cm long body and 30 cm long tail weight: 3,4 – 5 Kg
Diet: pikas, rodents, birds
Conservation status: Near Threatened
Interesting facts: robust body, short legs, long whiskers and very long thick fur are typical for manuls | Pallas’s cats are nocturnal predators | Manuls can be found on deserts, steppe climate and mountains between heights of 1,000 and 4,000 metres | mother gives birth to 2-6 kittens. They are independent after only two months! | they were hunted for their fur, which is illegal now. But people poison pikas, who are considered a pest – manuls then eat poisoned pikas and die

Would the beastie get insulted if I said I think Disney used some pictures of a Pallas cat to inspire Lucifer from Cinderella?
The real cat's a lot better looking. Of course, Cuthulu mythos monsters tend to be less creepy than even Disney's less impressive villains...

A manul... I read somethin'bout 'em, but ne'er seen. First time, I thank this' justa BIG domestic cat...
Whoops, I remembered once a PS-work I saw somewhere on Yandex photos. There was a row of solgiers, standin' before a President with 'eir army dogs. AND... One solgier stood with BIG cat with a LONG fur... I think now that it's was a manul. (Down there was a subscribe: 'Ready to the winter!')

Is it me, or do these guys don't have the traditional vertical eye pupils we normally see in smaller domestic cats?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's true, they have rounded ears and round pupils, which distinguishes them from most other cat races

Looking at this confused me, and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Then I realised its pupils, haha. Nice shot
