Filming such an animal was said to be near impossible. We wouldn't be able to find such a small animal in the vast steppes (草原) of Mongolia. Besides this, they're known to be easily frightened and extremely cautious. But we wanted to surprise audiences by showing them frozen worlds that lay outside of the Poles. Arriving in Mongolia, I was struck by its vastness. It's unbelievable that our first day presented us with a good view of our hard-to-find target. Our guide led us to the top of a hill. More than a kilometre away in an unimpressive pile of rocks, I could see a tiny spot, a Pallas's cat! We were so excited! We had been blessed with extremely low daytime temperature. Pallas's cats have the densest coat of any cat, but even so they must save their energy as much as possible. Their movements at these temperatures were especially seldom. While conditions did not look promising, we still needed to see if we could actually film them. The cats would only appear if the sun was out. But the steppe could be hit at any time by fast and bitter winds which would make any animal that had decided to appear come to an end. The decision as to whether to hold out for the weather to pass or to have a rest was always a painful one to make. But as the weeks went on and we spent more time with the cats, it was astonishing to see just how it was that they were able to survive in such a difficult and unpleasant environment. The longer we spent with them, the more we found ourselves falling in love with these attractive little characters and their winter lives. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者他们去拍摄帕拉斯猫的经历。 4．Why do people think it's unlikely to film the cats?
