The Manul Cat: World's Most Expressive Cat

Manul cat (Scientific name: Otocolobus manul) is an endangered wild species found in the savannas and montane steppes of Central Asia. These are commonly known as Pallas’ cats. Their distinguished features include round eyes, legs shorter than normal cats’ legs, and a wide, leveled face with broad-set ears. These features can sometimes lead to the funniest expressions, and Manul cats are known for it!

Peter Pallas thought that this cat species was related to the Persian cat (also known as the Persian cat). He thought that he was the kitten of a Scottish Fold that resembled a Maine Coon cat, and that it was finalized by hormonal changes. However, the experts found evidence that the closest relative of the wildcat could still be the very distant relative leopard cat.
