Breaking news! Ginger manul phenotypes are now part of conservation efforts. Orange manuls can be found in the south-western part of their natural range, so around Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Turkmenistan, as well as occasional orange kitties reported even in Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Orange manuls were originally thought to be a separate subspecies, but these days they're considered the same as their grey-ochre friends from colder steppes.
