Info: |
Pallas cats are small, stocky felids, well adapted to live in mountainous regions. They have the longest, thickest fur proportionally of any felid to protect them from the harsh extreme cold. Like their snow leopard neighbour, they have proportionally small ears to avoid heat loss. These ears are set low down on the head so that when the Pallas cat is scouting for prey in the rocks and shrubs, their ears dont give their location away. Their legs are strong and short to aid in balance and their irises constrict into circular pupils (unlike other small felids) to give them a wider field of vision on rocky terrain. |
