Jethro was born in a very large litter of six at Highland Wildlife Park to female Allula and was one of only two boys born. While at Highland Wildlife Park, he played an important part in a new vocalisation study for the species, which has never been done before. He is now our breeding male at The Big Cat Sanctuary.
The strength of a Pallas’s cat defies logic and Jethro is no exception. They are one of the world’s smallest cats but are extremely strong for their size.
Pallas’s cats are small, stocky felids, well adapted to live in mountainous regions. They have the longest, thickest fur of any cat to protect them from the extreme cold. They have tiny ears which are less likely to get frost bite, these are set low down on the head making them the masters of hide and seek as their ears don’t give away their location. Their legs are strong and short to help balance and their irises constrict into circular pupils (unlike other small felids) to give them a wider field of vision.
Found in parts of Asia such as the Himalayan foot hills of Russia, Kazakstan, Uzbekistan and Mongolia these cats have adapted to a life at high altitudes.
