It is difficult to figure out exactly how many Pallas’s cats exist in the wild because they are spread out across large areas and found in very low numbers. However, scientists estimate that there are about 58,000 Pallas’s cats living in the wild. This number suggests that they are not currently considered endangered. They tend to live in remote places where they have little contact with humans, which may offer them some protection from threats such as hunting.
很難計算出野外到底有多少隻兔猻，因為牠們分佈的區域很廣，而且被發現的數量很少。然而，科學家估計生活在野外的兔猻大約有五萬八千隻。這個數字表示牠們目前並未被視為瀕危物種。牠們往往生活在偏遠的地方，很少與人類接觸，這或許能為牠們提供一些保護，使其免受狩獵等威脅。
