Meet the oldest living ancestor of your domestic cat. Manulite (or so-calledPallas cats) are the oldest surviving species of the family cats and they, along with extincted kind Martel cats, probably are one of the first modern cats, which evolved directly from Pseudaelurus - common prehistoric ancestor of cats, about 12,000 years!
Manulite are wild cats with domestic cats size - 46-65 cm long, without tail included (which has a length of about 21 to 31 cm). Residents are of Asian steppes at an altitude of 1.000 to 4.000 meters.They are found around the eastern and southern coast of the Caspian Sea, Iran, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, western and central China and Mongolia. Because of their appearance before it was thought that the ancestors of manulite Persian cats, but that proved not true.Fascinating is that this type of cats on our planet is present around 12,000 years.
