The Manul Cat: World's Most Expressive Cat

Their eyes are round.Pallas' cats share a common feature with larger wild cats such as lions and tigers; these are their eyes. The pupils are round and the house cat's pupils are vertical and slit-shaped. Do you wonder why some cats have round pupils, while others are vertical pupils? In a study conducted by researchers at the University of California in 2015, Berkeley; Pupil shapes of animals can show their role in the hunter / prey food chain. Analysis of 214 land animal species, including cats, found that species with vertical pupils tend to be trap hunters active both during the day and during the night. In contrast, species with vertical pupils are usually active feeders, which means they are chasing their prey. Pallas' cats are small and are essentially trap hunters, so another jury is investigating whether the findings of the investigators are true for all living things.
