This was your 100th post in the community!

Why is it called ‘manul’?

That's what Pallas's cat is called in Mongolia, and it's also part of its scientific name

Technically, the manul is called "Pallas's cat" in Europe.

It was manul for a very long time before any Europeans saw one.

Intrigued but slightly pissed off. Can't decide if it needs to be examined or smacked.

Maybe both.
