Nope, they aren’t kittens — though they’re as cute as kittens can be. They’re sand cats, rare wild felines who live in the Sahara Desert. 🐱
According to a new study, tiny sand cats, although smaller than house cats, can travel almost as far as leopards and tigers. Even more fascinating? Researchers just discovered they may be the only nomadic felines who move with changing rainfall.
But they don’t need rain to live. In fact, they don’t need to drink at all. They stay hydrated via the blood of their prey.
