These cats are masters of high-altitude survival, ranging across the montane grasslands and shrubland steppes of Central Asia. While their distribution is vast—extending from the Caspian Sea and Iran through southeastern Siberia, Mongolia, and Tibet—their population is naturally fragmented. They are habitat specialists, preferring rocky areas, ravines, and slopes that offer hiding cover from predators. They are generally found at mid-mountain elevations, though they have been recorded as high as 5,593 meters in the Himalayas. Because they are not fast runners, they rely on existing cavities for daily survival, making their homes in abandoned marmot burrows, rock crevices, or small caves.
