Pallas's Cat, also called the manul, is a small wild cat with long, dense, light grey fur and rounded ears set low on the sides of its head. Its head-and-body length ranges from 46 to 65 centimeters with a bushy tail of 21 to 31 centimeters, and it is well camouflaged and adapted to the cold continental climate of its native range, which receives little rainfall and experiences a wide range of temperatures.
