Why is it called βmanulβ?
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.
