It has only been recorded in India, Sri Lanka and Nepal.Relatively little is known about how this species behaves in the wild. Rusty-spotted cats are believed to be predominantly nocturnal and prey on birds and rodents. They have been observed hiding in trees, likely to avoid larger predators.The IUCN lists this species is as Near Threatened, close to being considered Vulnerable. The cats face risks from habitat loss and fragmentation as land is converted for urban expansion, industry and other human uses.Sand caA sand cat walking towards the cameraSand cats usually spend most of the day in underground burrows to escape the heat of their desert habitats © Eva Kohoutova viaShutterstockThe sand cat (Felis margarita) is the only truly desert-dwelling cat in the world, found in parts of northern Africa, the Middle East and central Asia. They are a small species, with bodies about 51 centimetres long.Sand cats are known to survive in temperatures of 40°C in summer down to -25°C in winter. They will generally escape extreme heat by spending the day underground in burrows that they dig or co-opt from other animals. They then emerge at night to hunt when it is cooler.

These cats mostly prey on small rodents such as jerboas, spiny mice, gerbils and jirds, but will also hunt small birds, reptiles and sometimes locusts. When prey is hidden underground, sand cats will dig to find it. They will also occasionally cover up their kills with sand and return for them later.These desert specialists don’t need regular access to water, getting all that they need from their prey – although they will drink if water is available.
