This pose consists of a minul / younger manul ( typically ) having their head down and looking at camera. They look careful, and sometimes shocked!

Usually done by older / medium aged manuls, this pose consists of the manul looking at the camera / to the side with the ears in areoplane mode.

This pose is the most iconic. It is done by almost every manul. It consists of the manul staring dead at the camera with a grumpy look.

This pose consists of a manuls photo being taken while it looks like the manul has no idea that they are getting a photo taken of them.
