The dune (sand) cat is a Peter Pan of the feline family. Representatives of this species look like kittens throughout their lives, so it seems that they never grow up.
Sand cats live in the desert territories of North Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, Central Asia and Pakistan and are endangered due to illegal trade and hunting.
Despite the cute appearance, these cats are adapted to harsh environmental conditions. They easily tolerate temperatures from -5 to +52 ° C and can live for months without water, extracting only a minimum of moisture from food.
