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!
For example: According to Bill Swanson, animal research director at Cincinnati Zoo, one of the newborn Pallas cats was thought to have difficulty breathing, but when the sound was closely listened, it was noticed that the sound they heard was hissing towards each other before opening their eyes.
