Manul

The Manul, sometimes called the Pallas’s Cat, is found throughout the rocky steppes of central Asia. They are similar in size to large domestic cats, with long dense fur which is longer on their bellies. Their heads are small and broad, with silvery-grey fur with black spots on their foreheads. Solitary and nocturnal, they spend their days sleeping in caves and fissures. On average, the manul weights 2 to 5 kilograms and are 50 to 60 cm long with a 21-31cm tail.
