The '''Pallas's cat''' ('''''Otocolobus manul'''''), also known as the '''manul''', is a small wild cat with long and dense light grey fur, and rounded ears set low on the sides of the head. Its head-and-body length ranges from 46 to 65 cm (18 to 26 in) with a 21 to 31 cm (8.3 to 12.2 in) long bushy tail. It is well camouflaged and adapted to the cold continental climate in its native range, which receives little rainfall and experiences a wide range of temperatures. | The '''Pallas's cat''' ('''''Otocolobus manul'''''), also known as the '''manul''', is a small wild cat with long and dense light grey fur, and rounded ears set low on the sides of the head.
