I'm still trying to put my finger on what exactly is different about the faces of Chinese manuls (otocolobus nigripectus?). There's a definite look which they have, and it's not like the Siberian manuls nor the orange manuls in Yerevan either.
chuluu,
It seems to me that manuls of the subspecies Otocolobus manul nigripectus have darker gray fur than Otocolobus manul manul. In addition, in my view, their eye shape differs: in nigripectus, their eyes are more almond-shaped.

Im guessing this is spelt as
二百二十三
Funny name but unique
As I understand it, she was named that because of the stripes on her tail. Funny.
Such a beautiful fluffy girl! 😻
Where is Sepu and where is the zoo she lives in?
She's beautiful.

May everything go well for 223!
Thank you for the news! One more manul added
chuluu, I tell them apart by their giant golden paws!
Such a beautiful girl: ginger paws and nose, emerald eyes 🥰
Omg she's gorgeous!!! Those green eyes... 🤩🤩
I'm so glad this beautiful feisty girl was rescued and now gets to live the relaxing zoo life! 💚💚💚
Annika Wawrzyńska, Sepu is a village in Tibet and 223 is in the Qushui Zoo with three other manuls.
baomi, Thank you!
silly manul
Антон, If he were stupid, he wouldn’t have survived for 6 million years! A manul simply doesn’t clutter his head with unnecessary things 😎
