Where to see Pallas's Cats in the UK

The Pallas's cat, also known as the manul, is a small wild cat native to the grasslands and rocky steppes of Central Asia. These fascinating creatures prefer to live at high altitudes, often in remote areas, where they can find shelter among the rocky terrain. Pallas's cats primarily hunt small mammals, birds, and insects, using their keen sense of sight and stealth to stalk their prey. While they have not been formally evaluated for conservation status, their populations are thought to be impacted by habitat loss and hunting.

An interesting fact about Pallas's cats is their unique appearance; they have a distinctive flat face and long, thick fur that helps them survive in harsh climates. Families in the UK can see these enchanting cats at various zoos and wildlife parks, where they can learn more about their behaviour and habitat.
