"While sand cats have a wide range, living in the Sahara, the Arabian Peninsula and parts of central Asia, they are particularly stealthy and spend hot days in burrows only coming out at night to hunt desert rodents. Their footpads renders their tracks nearly invisible in the sand, their butter-colored coat is perfect desert camouflage, and in many cases they will crouch down and close their eyes when light is shined on them, making them particularly hard to track."
