Majid Baatabie, a nature lover, has captured and shared images of a Pallas’s cat, a rare species of the cat family in Iran, in Mazandaran.

The Pallas’s cat mainly lives in cold and mountainous habitats in Central Asia, and information about its distribution and population in Iran is limited. Recording this species in the highlands of Mazandaran is important for understanding its habitats.
