What do pallas cats eat?

Pallas's cats, also known as Manul, are carnivores. They are primarily small mammal hunters, relying on rodents like:

* Gerbils

* Hamsters

* Mice

* Voles

* Pikas

They also occasionally hunt larger prey like:

* Birds

* Rabbits

* Marmots

* Lizards

Their diet is highly dependent on the availability of prey in their habitat.

Interestingly, Pallas's cats have been known to eat carrion (dead animals) when other food sources are scarce.
