The species' range has decreased significantly.

Why you can’t tame the Pallas’s cat

You can even tame a tiger, a lion, or a cheetah, but it is impossible to tame a Pallas's cat.

Even if you raise a kitten from the cradle and always keep it in human society, it will still spit on its owners and at the first opportunity will go away to do its meditations far away, and will never return.

What is the character of a manul cat

It is just laid back and very patient.

After all, most of its life is spent watching for prey, when he becomes motionless.

It camouflages itself so well on the ground that it may not be visible at point-blank range.

Having sometimes waited an impressive amount of time, the Pallas cat catches its prey with one masterly leap.

Scientists have found that these wild cats also live on the slopes of Mount Everest.

In the spring of 2019, during an expedition to the Nepalese Sagarmatha National Park, which partially contains the world's highest peak, researchers collected samples of cat droppings at an altitude of 5110 and 5190 meters.
