Behavioural observations reveal maternal behaviour and ecological adaptations in Pallas's cat, highlighting its role as a safety specialist.
Behavioural observations and related images from eastern Mongolia, including a previously unreported maternal behaviour, highlight a unique adaptation of the Pallas's cat as a "safety specialist", as suggested by ecological studies. A comparison is made with the sand cat Felis margarita (Loche 1858), which shares some morphological and behavioural traits but remains even less studied in the field.
