Sand Cats

Felis Margarita

Sand cats Ari and Nala are siblings who enjoy relaxing on the rocky outcroppings in their large outdoor enclosure watching the camel riders as they go by. Sand cats are small wild cats native to Africa’s Sahara desert, throughout the Arabian peninsula; and in parts of Central Asia. They are prolific diggers and live primarily in burrows in the wild to escape the heat during the day and are active at night. Ari and Nala enjoy their own building and indoor space to come into to escape our Mohave desert elements. Can you guess what these ferocious cats hunt and eat in the wild?
