The first photographic evidence of Pallas’s cat in India was captured in Himachal Pradesh, specifically during a snow leopard survey in the Kinnaur area. This discovery marks a significant contribution to the understanding of the distribution of this rare and elusive feline species. Pallas's cats are native to Central Asia and are typically found in high-altitude, rocky habitats. The images captured in Himachal Pradesh extend their known range, emphasizing the importance of the region's rich biodiversity and the need for conservation efforts to protect these species and their habitats.
