Pallas’s cat is an endangered feline found in cold, high places throughout Asia. First described by German zoologist Peter Pallas, it’s about the size of a domestic cat. Unlike a housecat, it has a shaggy coat with really long belly fur, and its pupils contract into circles instead of slits. (Mark Eastment / Shutterstock)
