In this article,I am going to tell more about the elusive sand cat.
In the heart of an arid desert,during the dark hours of the night,a sand cat emerges from its den and stops it looks around listens.Then,crouching low to the ground,the animal quitely begins it's trek accross the Sandy terrain.
Suddenly,the sand cat leaps upon its unwary prey-a gerbil.Afterward,The prowl continues through the night,with the sand cat making occasional leaps into the air to catch more prey.if it catches more than it can eat,the sand cat will cover what is left with sand.It returns to its den in the early morning and seldom appears during the day.consider some intriguing features of this elusive creature.
The acute hearing I sand cats helps them locate their prey,even if it's underground.
To locate a mate,the make produces a high pitched barking sound.The females sensitive hearing enables her to hear this call over a long distance.
The hairy covering on the sand cats paws prevents the animal from sinking into the sand and insulates the paws from extreme Sand temperatures.
The inside surface of each ear is covered with white hair,which protects the cat from windblown sand.
Sand cats can survive by living off the water they obtain from their prey.
The sand of the kara-kum desert can reach 176 degrees Fahrenheit at other times the air temperature can drop to as low as -13 degrees Fahrenheit.
Tracking this cat is very difficult because it's soles of its paws are covered with a dense mat of hair that renders it's track nearly invisible.This cat can be found in the interior of the Sahara,throughout Arabia,and parts of central Asia.The males weight is between four and half and six and a half pounds.it is docile,when compared with other cats in the wild which tend to be ferocious.
