The Pallas’s cat, also known as the manul, is a wild cat that has become known for its extraordinary ability to be invisible.

A native of Asia, it inhabits some of the world's driest areas, where temperature can drop to minus 50 degrees.

This climate has given the cat its extra thick coat—and also a resistance to life and breeding in captivity.

Nonetheless they seem to be happy at the zoological garden in Wrocław, south-west Poland.

Elzbieta Krajewska was on the line to Krzysztof Stegmann at the Carnivora Section of the zoo to find out more about their Pallas’s cat kittens.
