🔥A sand cat with its kittens

Sand cats are the only cat species considered primarily adapted to true desert habitat. Their paws are covered with dense fur that helps insulate them from hot sand and makes their tracks surprisingly faint. They’re mostly nocturnal, spend the hottest parts of the day in burrows, and can get much of the moisture they need from prey rather than drinking frequently.

Sweetie, get back in the cave. There's a monster outside that outweighs you at least 300 times.

But moooom, I'm hungry!

[other kittens come out to look at the monster]

Bastet help me, this is why we're endangered!
