Sand Cat
Name: Sand cat
Scientific Name: Felis margarita
The sand cat, also known as the dune cat, is a small species of wild cat native to the deserts and stony areas of Africa, the Middle East, western Asia, and the Arabian Peninsula. It is known by the Tuareg people for its ability to kill venomous snakes. The reason for its ears to be so short and set low, on the side of the head, is for the sand cat to detect potential prey underground: when it comes to feeding, it largely preys on small rodents, but also lizards, fish, and snakes.
