BALL CAT BALL CAT BALL CAT

Wow thank you for this I never know the origin of (SNOW LEOPARD) and Eurasian Lynx was in india with other cat that u mention after I google it you was right lol That’s was amazing!

Didn't know there were cheetahs in India

@@tomasbeltran04050 they became extinct from India after the last protected specimenen died around 1960s i guess. Right now African Cheetahs are being introduced into Indian Forests fill the gap of Asiatic Cheetahs.

Our Bharat is gifted with the boon of Diversity, weather cultures, colours, landscape or wildlife. That's the boon of God on us.

@@rage8673 incredible :0

Ancient Greeks couldn't have named the cat if it was first described in 1776. He probably meant it's scientific name is the ugly eared cat.

Plants and animals are named in Greek to this day.

Via Wikipedia

You'd name it something mean too if it mauled you.

They’re not ugly, they’re just angry

Speaking of cute, have you seen the sand cat and black footed cat? They looks so cute but are the most dangerous feline out there.😂

These little fluffballs are so expressive

@@Sam-qz3bb OHHH LOOKY LOOKY WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE, A CUTE LIL WILD CAT EXPERT? jk you just made me obsessed with sand & black-footed cats & I’m about to enter another youtube wormhole goodnight world

@@Sam-qz3bb owww I just checked. They're all so cute. Cats of any kind are always cute. 😭❤

@@kevindube7096 😂😂

so lucky! 🥰

No you didnt.

​@Lennart Hagen Don't cry Sandesh fsn

Lucky!!! 🥺🥺

Yeah, his body is as round as a rock.

Distinctive eyes and ears makes them alluring! 🙌😍

Large cats (lions, tigers, leopards, etc.) also have rounded pupils, but the Manul/Pallas' cat is the only small cat species to have them EDIT: along with Caracals too

Gregory Caracal Big Floppa has round pupils.

That’s what makes them look SO HUMAN to me!

yeah i just noticed it too just like another big cat!

@@farizkeren5730 uhh he literally said small feline...i dont think tigers are that small..

Sisters

Yep, they look alike!

Thanks for the like

Some cats like humans, like really like humans, not as food though

Not mine

Same with snow leopard, that lives in the same region as Pallas cat.

Always has been

Yes

Now that’s scary spot on

How did you know 😂

No, I came from "the body is round" meme

Yeah, these days you can check or confirm these pretty much instantly so I don't know why they won't even try.

True, laziness I guess and hope that the audience won't check either. Wonder how they came up connecting ugliness to kolovos, an ancient Greek word.

The two are not necessarily mutually exclusive. I haven't studied ancient Greek but it probably wouldn't be difficult to find it used to mean ugly ear in certain contexts.

@@AshaSelfsDemoFilms Believe me, when you use the word 'kolovos" in Greek or latinized "colobus", particularly talking about animals, it always mean that it misses a part, amputated. Either a tail, a leg, an ear etc. Someone could say this could be ugly looking but saying that colobus is related with ugliness is just wrong.

Just wanted to chime in. My girlfriend is a pontian greek, which she says the dialect from this tribe most resembles ancient greek. I asked her about what op wrote and she told me exactly what he is saying. Ugliness has nothing to do with the word.

There is a 50-minute documentary here. Just search for Pallas's Cat.

*whisper*: It is for dramatic effect. Capt. Obvious out...

@@Ayeen1986 i know, but he just sound so stupid whispering and all of that sht

*X-Files theme plays*

It's not like that. Actually in the wild especially in Forests and prairies - *your whisper can go for miles and be easily heard by predators are other species whom have the gift of distant earing and highly sensitive appendages on their bodies.* This (whispering in high tones) is probably the major mistake people make when out on a safari in a deep jungle or mountainous dense forest. One must adopt *perfect silence* in order to walk through such areas. Earlier back in India (prior to 16th - 17th centuries and perhaps even now in some parts), people or devotees whom had to and used to travel on foot or bullock cart across large distances involving forests or even plain lands used to keep mum due to very this reason.

@@TheB657 then he is even more stupid for whispering when even a whisper can be heard by supernatural animals that can hear from miles away.

Hi..most cat species would prefer to conserve their energy for more important tasks..hence the years of evolution of most cats to sleep almost the entire day away..unless it's time to go hunting cause they're hungry..then their energy they've built up during their hours of sleeping gets "used up" mighty fast, especially if they don't catch anything to eat..so your reference to "sloth" type behavior, kind of insulting to the species..🤷‍♀️🐈‍⬛🐅🐆🐈🙂😸😿

Oh they will. People ruin everything.

@@gaylebynumcardosa7034 Esp in India.....Self absorbed assholes are well distributed internationally.

Probably something larger than it failed to secure the snack

Bobcats aren't illusive, plenty of them around here (US Northeast). There are more illusive felines e.g. Snow Leopard. African Golden Cat is especially illusive.

That struck me too. 😏
