The Chinese mountain cat lives in high steppes and mountains of northwest China. It is a predator the size of a large domestic cat that tolerates cold and dryness well.
The Chinese mountain cat differs from other cats with its thick fur and life at high altitudes. It regulates the population of rodents and is a rare species that needs protection.
