Description
There are less than 200 sand cats currently held in zoos only.
While most cats have good hearing, sand cats have developed their hearing even more. This allows them to hunt for prey.
Besides eating small rodents, sand cats also hunt poisonous snakes, especially sand vipers.
According to the Koran, a sand cat was the companion of the prophet Mohammed and his daughter during their trip in the desert.
It is also sometimes named the “sand dune cat”.
It has thick hair on its soles, making it more adapted to the harsh extreme weather of the desert.
In captivity it was observed that after a meal the cat buries its leftovers in the sand.
Although most cats are found in the Sahara Desert, some sand cats also live in parts of Iran, Pakistan or Turkmenistan (sandcatfacts.com).
