Animal Facts
Pallas's cats are no larger than a regular domestic cat, but appear bigger due to the sheer volume of their fur.
The generic name of the Pallas's cat, Otocolobus, is derived from the Greek language and means 'ugly-eared'.
Pallas's cats' fur is the densest of all cats, with up to 9,000 hairs per cm².
The Pallas's cat is an ambush predator and preys on rodents and other small vertebrates. Their plush fur and stout body makes them a poor runner.
Pallas's cats rely on natural crevices in rock formations and cliffs to give birth and find shelter, a habitat that is threatened by human expansion and landscaping.
