Pallas Cats at the Prospect Park Zoo

They may look like the fattest felines you've ever seen, but the Prospect Park Zoo's new pair of Pallas cats, Nicholas and Alexandra, aren't full on lasagna—they're built for the chilly climate of central Asia.

i showed this to my friend (who has a bit of a cat fetish) and she fell of her chair, made noises the entire time, and wen i went to laugh at her she slapped me...still a cute video :)

@WCSMedia And the short ears are to protect against frostbite, right? They are very cute... they've got ridiculously fluffy and thick fur. But as you said, in the cold of Siberia and Mongolia, they need that kind of fur to keep them from freezing to death.

I have NEVER EVER heard of pallas cats, much less seen one, but now I know!

It's sort of a prototype cat with all the basic features but some of the advanced stuff like the eyes and claws not fully evolved. It's still very cool looking though and you can imagine the first cats that started hanging around human settlements resembling like this.

they look like a normal house cat that ran wild and developed into a new breed of cat...odd and amazing (:
