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.
