- The Pin Club is Back Open! But only briefly! store.dftba.co...
Pallas' Cat is more closely related to house cats than many wild cats (though not as close as some) but still split off from any of it's ancestors 5 to 6 million years ago. For comparison, our ancestors were still interbreeding with the ancestors of chimpanzees six million years ago.
But they do have this one strange feature that doesn't make any sense. But despite the fact that it probably doesn't help them survive, it does make them cute to humans...so if it convinces us to keep captive breeding programs...this less-than-useless attribute may actually (oddly enough) save them.

Little kitty steal big kitty eyes 🐱

Didn't expect this to turn into a lesson in optics but I am not mad about it
Alicia Perez as an OpTech I found this very interesting. I know a lot about human eyes but not cat eyes
Alicia Perez I just did an exam all about this stuff for my psychology class, and for some reason seeing it here stressed me out😂
They are famed among zookeepers as being by far the most hate-filled, murderous balls of anger of all cats big and small, which only makes them more adorable in my opinion.
Oh man, that's amazing. So many cats hold so much anger in them, so coming in as the most is impressive.
Agreed
fur on the outside
darkness within
They're just irritated by us humans, they are not inherently angry or dark
But... their round fluffy bodies... must... pet...
Theory: Was big cat, but then jumped in a dryer and shrank.
celestialheroine explains why they look so grumpy!
Genius!
Makes sense
Hahahahaha
This is a hypothesis and will remain so until peer-reviewed.

Hi 👀
(said like that Beyoncé meme) SAWTOOTH WAVES???
"Cute to humans" and "tasty to humans" may be the sole determining features about whether your species makes it through the Anthropocene.
Humanity truly is a living, breathing extinction event.
Underrated comment 👍
@Vincent Bate Self hatred is going out of style I think, I hope.
Yes, and being tasty is the far greater advantage. From an evolutionary pount of view, domestication and factory farming is the jackpot: the genes are multiplied at ridculous scale compared to anything natural and the amount of biomass is enormous.
@@alalalala57 Extinction will happen regardless if we're here or not, chill with the cynic misanthropy.
I read an article about this cat that described them as “stout and plush” which is honestly the best descriptor for my own cat lol

We call our 20 pound DSH, Emmett, "Big Chonkus". He's my boy & an OG. Seen him kill a 21" rat but loves belly rubs, kisses & his dog.
Could describe…me
@Metal Fan 😂
Cameo has finally made a cameo

Look at those cute, angry, little chonkers! I love them already
lolololol - cute angry chonkers should be in their wiki entry :D
They're not chonky, they're all floof :D
I think "cute little chonker" is my new favourite term of endearment. For myself ^_^`
'as the loris has shown us' is a phrase i would like to use more often, completely out of context
as the loris has shown us, you will die at 10:47am in 2 days
i totally thought you were talking about the lorax. but i mean either one works
"Who's Dolores?"
As the loris has shown us, Epstein didn’t kill him self

“This Cat Makes No Sense”
*Do any cats make sense?*
I'm sure they make perfect sense to themselves
True. 😸
Yes. Some cats are quite stinky.
Occasionally.
@@SylviusTheMad 😂🤣😂🤣
Me: *knows this cat will rip my face off*
Also me: it's jus a liddol babey...
I've never clicked on anything so fast
I consider myself a crazy enough cat person to have sought out all trivia around, about most species of cats.. I did NOT know / notice that pallas' cats have round pupils!!!!
You always amaze me Hank. Thank you for learning me some good stuffs!
A curtain of muscles is the mental picture of my nightmares.
You're welcome!
Oh god.
It wasn't mine until I read this comment.
I'm so sorry to all of you.
Yeah!.. everyone knows muscles are supposed to be made into a dress!
🍖👗
One of Katherine’s favorite kitties. A noble choice.
Me: Come here kitty, let me love you.
Pallas cat claws off my face
Me: such a cute, fluffy guy.
Manuls are definitely friend shaped 😍. So adorable!
@@deed5811they are fruit shaped
You had me at *Cat*
YAY i’m so happy bizarre beasts is open again! I’m finally signed up 💖
YAAY!
Hank?
@@vlogbrothers Apparently Yaay translated to english is Yay; TIL
The phrase, “you have sphincters in your eyes,” sounds like a Pomplamousse original song lyric.
Fascinating.
Now show us more about Cameo.
Lots more.
Immediately.
We are still waiting...
Yes please, she’s precious!
I demand it.
by the title i was guessing this was gonna be a pin club video and was excited about the video but sad to be reminded i'm not subscribed - but then to hear it's open again! very good news and now happily await this kitty pin!
*strangled scream* I love learning more about the Pallas cat :D It is my favorite cat-family rarity!! *watches for another minutes* OMG EYE ANATOMYYYY ...yes yes I love Teh Anatomies - do not even get me started on kineseology :D THANK YOU HANK, I'M LOVING THESE 'YOUR LIFE IS MORE AWESOME KNOWING MORE ABOUT AWESOME CRITTERS' videos!
Shoutout to the Cameo cameo. We need more Cameo cameos in Vlogbrothers
I tought I was watching an episode of scishow but then I realized it is his channel...
You can tell because I'm in a chair.
@@vlogbrothers lololol - I was watching older SciShows a few weeks back, and the short era of Hank Sits in front of the Green Screen....was very perplexing :D
I like how smoothly this video transitions from cute cats to an in depth explanation about how their eyes function.
oh my god it's so fluffy
SO. FLUFFY.
I am now planning a trip to Asia just to see this pretty kitty, anyone want to join?
Or just go to Cincinnati!
Yes
Take me!!!
@@vlogbrothers don't block his adventures spirit hank...
@@vlogbrothers I think that Asia is actually closer to Cincinnati for me.
My theory is that it helps them hunt. Random bird-" oh mah gooness. What is this adorable mop?" Adorable mop:- "chomp"
Even when angry they're adorable. I want to hug one, I can endure the probable claw induced pain for such cuteness.
Hank: now here's where it gets complicated
Me: it wasn't already??
It’s like the adorably angry Scottish wildcat.
Wow. I never noticed this before!! I can't believe I never noticed that some cats have circular pupils! Mind blown. This cat is also cute because of their small and widely set ears. So interesting!
"I don't know, and neither does anyone else." Sums up a lot of things really.
Also, I knew this video was going to be about Pallas's cat before I even opened it. They are truly the most goofy looking cat.
Benjamon's footage was also taken at the Cincinnati Zoo I believe. I worked closely with these guys and I'm glad they're getting noticed!
1:45 you mean to tell me those are it's eyes? I always thought it was an organ it uses to trick it's victim into... staring... so it can... suck their soul in... and... uhm... what was I trying to say... *stares*
Hank: "The Bizzare Beast Pin Club is opening back up, just until the end of Pizzamas"
Me: ARRGJAJVURBLALARBLORDER RIGHT NOW
I'm weirldy proud that I already knew about this adorable cat's existence.
But did you know about its strange, adorable eyes? Cuz now you do.
0:50 even in some Dragons the slit-shaped eyes appear. Don't question this, my sources are very trustworthy.
Honestly, probably they shouldn't. I have a hard time imagining dragons being ambush predators.
Sharks dont have many predators either. And more importantly I have heard of many dragons that got ambushed by some guy with eiher a sword or a wand!
@@johannesbroemmel6452 Ambush predator =/= ambushed by predators
@@vlogbrothers I think they could ambush ..... What better place to hide than the sky?
the crossover I didn’t know I needed: optometry and kitty cats
You made hardly any mention of their floofiness! They are SO FLOOFY!
I need an endless gif of 2:18 to terrify my enemies...
Around 3:35 that kitten sneaking up on a bigger (Mom? Dad?) looking kind of wary and loving at the same time is simply too much!
This is the best way to do science!! I love the Moon Moon cats
The Manul's temperament is perfectly suited to it's harsh environment
I forgot that we're in the middle of Pizzamas and had a very, "WHAT DAY IS IT?!" moment for a second there.
Should anyone else be studying but instead are watching VLOG BROTHERS!?
🙋🏽♀️🤣

You say this say comment in every video.

It was hard to hear you for parts of this video because I couldn't stop squealing *_BABIES_* whenever the kitties were onscreen :)
.
I have loved Pallas' cats since I first read about them in the _Encyclopedia of Cats_ I got for Christmas one year, and I'm glad to see you've discovered their brilliant adorableness, too. Now if you''ll excuse me, I'm going to continue staring at Pallas' cats being adorable for the rest of today :)
1:06 European Lynx?
*Angry Iberian Noises*
Every time Cameo makes a cameo, I am filled with joy. I want more Cameo updates!
I signed up for the bizarre beast pins and I’m so excited!!!!!!
Hank, thank you for always making me learn something when Im browsing youtube.
First book title for a second duology (< trilogy, but two), after the 2 absolutely remarkable things:
An Adorable Mystery.
Chinese people love this kind of cat! We call it 兔狲 which means “the rabbit monkey”! Don’t know why though...
woah cool!
徐tom Oh my gosh. When we first got the tuxedo cat Wafer we observed that she was a monkey rabbit! Wow! It’s not just us.
This is exactly the kind of video I wanted to see at midnight. Also, since I live in India, might as well go on a mission to find these adorabubble munchkins.
It's so fluffy I'm gonna die! So cute!
I've never noticed they have round pupils.
Nah I love them because they are angry clouds with the cutest toe beans
*aggressive potato*
"Yes, you have sphincters in your eyes!"... Ahhhggg! GET THEM OUT!!!!
In my teacher training program someone made a unit called 'Why are cats so weird?' And I feel like this video would fit well with that
Has normal hopes and desires
Me: watches one video about cat eyes
Me now: I'm going to be a Opthamologist.
I wonder what a kitties eyes would look like if a Pallas' Cat had kittens with a house cat. I doubt they could breed but it would be very interesting to see how the kittens turned out.
BoringNEET I mean some cats in my neighborhood growing up bred with a lynx and made aggressive, little, bob tailed cuties, so it’s not completely out of the realm of possibilities.
This pin club was the best choice I have made in my recent adult life.
On the sixth day of pizzamas, my true Hank gave to me an adorable eyed kitty.
"You have sphincters in your eyes." - Hank Green.
"I don't have a favorite pony." - also Hank Green
You made me go back and watch that song lol
Could the round pupils of Pallas' cat be related to the environment? As most cats tend to live in green-ish habitats, keeping the color optimization with the vertical pupil would be advantageous for identifying and distinguishing the green. Pallas' cat lives in mountainous and arid areas where losing blueish-green color identifying at low light would not be a disadvantage.
*Asks a rhetorical question
*Doesn't have the answer
Most cats make no sense :'D
I'm thinking of those who do. Tony The Tiger, Waldo Kitty, Thundercats, Battle Cat, Jonesy from Alien, to name a few.
@@adrianblack7966 hello kitty? 😂
@@NyanCat1907 speaks with no mouth
All cats make no sense :'D
Hank: Cats with circular pupils are so cute!
Me: Get this freak of nature away from me and give me back my slitted babies
Hank is certainly not a freak of nature.
You keep covering animals I discovered around the same time years ago! I love it!
my pin came in the mail and i got the 10% odds boys 👀 i feel blessed
"European linx are of moderate size" - T. S. Eliot
“Here’s the real boy!” 😹
i’m sitting here eating up the science of depth perception like i didn’t watch hank explain it two weeks ago on crash course psychology
Is this where scishow episodes come from? you just find yourself curious Hank?
i love those cats. they always look like they need a coffee and that's basically me.
So I came here I am clicking on a John Green video, then watching through, I wasnt sure, so I googled this channel, I still was figuring out and then those two bobbing heads flashed onto my screen. I feel I have physically descended into the uncanny valley. 😓
I've heard that these cats have been so isolated that it is best not to come in contact with, since they haven't evolved enough to develop an immunity to common germs.
*ITS A MOTH WITH A FURR*
Moths are moths with fur!
@@vlogbrothers thats some big brain knowledge yo
*The more you know*
my brain just went 'moth with a fur, the whole club was lookin' at her'
Er'body on the plateau, lookin' at hurrr
It's been two days since the last upload I seriously forgot it was pizzamas
I didn't! Good lord! I CAN"T BELIEVE WE USED TO DO THIS ALL THE TIME!
@@vlogbrothers it's hard for me to imagine how you would've done that either honestly

Im SO FRICKING HAPPY THAT THE PIN CLUB IS OPEN AGAIN, THANK YOU!!!
When I was younger I had a picture of that bad boi that I'd ripped out of a copy of National Geographic Kids up on my wall .
I would love to see a graphic of pizza John t-shirt popularity over the years. None pizza has got to be winning in terms of purchases.
Oooooo. This sounds like excellent @hankschannel content.
I am loving this year's pizzamas videos, I mean they are always good, but idk I am really loving these ones
This little guy has been my laptop screensaver for months!
2:24, the bobble head on the right has a similar blur as the background, which makes it look like it’s way further away than it actually is.
Cats with slitted pupils have terrible minimum focal distance. To compensate for that shortcoming they have adapted long whiskers that allow them to literally get a good feel for their quarry in anticipation of receipt of a delicious mouthful.
An Absolutely Adorable Mystery
or
A Beautifully Bizzare Beast
0:29 Okay but big boi got little stubby legs and it’s cute af
I'm like 35 y.o. but just today I learned why cat's go full open aperture before they strike, and why vertical pupils.
Omg this might be your best video yet!
Those cats are everything!
I love these angry chonkers! I hope we can save their homelands so that we can always have the floofiest angry face on the planet.
All I know is they're adorably dangerous and I would die for them.
You go ahead and die. I'll keep living, thank you!
“Solitary, grumpy, temperamental cats”
So, cats then?
YES! More of these amazing animal analysis/deep-dives!
Great video. Really enjoy your enthusiasm! Thanks.
