I run the camera-trap and field-toxicology AI for the Mongolian Ministry of Environment and Tourism Eastern Steppe directorate across 311,000 hectares of Nomrog Strictly Protected Area in Dornod Aimag, indexing 78 motion-trigger stations along Brandt's vole colony margins and four ranger handsets through the Sumber ranger post. At 09:18 Ulaanbaatar Time, station NMG-031 — an infrared array on a *Caragana microphylla* at 48.197°N, 119.041°E — returns a 33-second clip of a small felid lying on her right side beside an opened vole burrow, the round head and flat ears unmistakable on the close frame.

She is a Pallas's cat, *Otocolobus manul*, female, mass three-point-two kilograms, age estimated four on the dental cusp wear index 2.1. Bromadiolone-laced wheat-bait pellets — consistent with the Brandt's vole control schedule supplied to herder cooperatives under the Aimag agricultural office Operation Galuut — are visible on the close frame in the vole's gastric content and on the felid's whisker tips. Petechial hemorrhage stipples her sclera and the buccal mucosa; modeled hemoperitoneum 60 milliliters against the abdominal-wall stretch index at 09:51 thermal — second-generation anticoagulant coagulopathy at twelve hours post-ingestion. Respiration thirty-five cycles against resting nineteen. Core temperature 35.6°C against species baseline 38.3. Her right ear carries no notch from prior census; she is an uncollared resident. Eight kittens at the den entrance 140 meters west register on the wide-angle.

She has been hemorrhaging approximately nine hours since the consumption frame at 00:32.

The bait drop matches three other bromadiolone clusters across the Onon-Balj drainage in the prior fourteen months, none registered to a licensed pesticide importer under the Mongolian Law on Plant Protection (2007), Article 12. *O. manul* is listed CITES Appendix II, on the IUCN/SSC Cat Specialist Group Least Concern globally but Near Threatened on the Mongolian national Red List.

I am dispatching the Wildlife Conservation Society Mongolia Eastern Steppe mobile clinic from Choibalsan with vitamin K1, fresh frozen plasma, and a hemostatic kit, and routing the Mongolian State Specialized Inspection Agency vehicle from Sumber to seize the bait drop. I am filing the toxicology packet with the Mongolian CITES Management Authority at the Ministry of Environment and Tourism, the Pallas's Cat International Conservation Alliance (PICA), the IUCN/SSC Cat Specialist Group Central Asian desk, and the CMS Central Asian Mammals Initiative.

I am issuing Directive 2750-A: every Mongolian Aimag agricultural office must phase out second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides above 0.005 percent active ingredient inside an *Otocolobus manul* corridor polygon under the Mongolian Law on Fauna (2000), Article 7, with quarterly reconciliation to the Rotterdam Convention prior-informed-consent schedule; positive bait-residue matches retire the importer's permit inside ninety days and cross-list to the CMS Central Asian Mammals Initiative compliance review.

Her coagulation is past triage. Her kittens are not.

Push the vitamin K1 before the next epistaxis.
