Default Elusive Arabian sand cat spotted after 10 years’ disappearance

Elusive Arabian sand cat spotted after 10 years’ disappearance


It’s a nocturnal hunter perfectly adapted to its desert home. It doesn’t need to drink water as it can get all it needs from the small birds, reptiles and mammals that are its prey. Special hairs in its ears and on its paws keep the sand out.

Despite its wide distribution across the deserts of North Africa, Arabia and Central Asia, little is known about this elusive species.
