Wild sand cats are back after a ten-year absence.

(Vietkings) A super rare cat that seems to be no longer in the wild was discovered in late 2015 and early 2016, but the story of the meeting between the above animal and scientists has only been published recently

 

This cute cat has the full name of the Arabian Cat Cat. They are famous for their excellent hiding ability because with just a blink of an eye, the sand cat that was standing in front of them just now has disappeared.

In addition to the photos. Photographs of sand cats, other animals such as desert beetles, glossy lizards and geckos also appear to show that the food source here for sand cats is quite abundant.
