YOU NEED TO CORRECT MOROCCOS MAP, WORTHLESS PC OF 💩, LAST THING WE WANT IS PISSING OFF THE MOROCCAN RULING KINGDOM OR A FRICTION WITH OUR MOST IMPORTANT ALLY IN NORTH AFRICA .WHO THE FK GIVE YOU PERMISSION TO DO SO .
I can vouch for the 'semi-retractable claws'. In 1980, I moved to Saudi Arabia to work as an expat in the Oil industry at ARAMCO. We lived in a trailer park in the desert for a few months before we were assigned a proper house inside the expat settlement at Dhahran. Anyway, one night we heard a cat under the trailer, and discovered a tiny kitten in a piece of discarded plastic sewerage pipe. It apparently was abandoned by a less than perfect mother. We eventually took it in, fed it, and it purred loudly and snuggled up to us. Left it in a bedding box for the night. We also gave it a sandbox, which it used without training. AT bedtime, It howled miserably until we moved it into the bedroom, where it crawled up into the bed, purring loudly. We kept the playful kitten for a few weeks, but eventually gave it away to another couple & their son, as it played roughly and never could retract its claws. And our arms were always badly scratched, tho the cat continued purring and snuggling and was never really angry, and never scratched out of fear. They eventually moved to another ARAMCO site in Ras Tanura, and we lost track of them. We discovered much later that it was actually a Sand Cat, and NOT a domestic cat.
I think it is hard for cats to be gentle, because their skin is so much stronger than ours. A lot of bites and scratches are actually signs of affection that are not at all painful, if you have tough cat skin, so it takes a lot of discipline for a cat to learn not to bite or scratch too hard. I think domestic cats are probably very intelligent, which is how they figure out to be gentle enough, assuming they receive training from a good human. With that sand cat, you probably would just need to live with the scratches, since it will probably never understand that humans have weak, fragile skin compared to cats.
I’ve been watching nature programs since I was a young girl and I have never seen this beautiful feline before. Thanks for sharing this remarkable wild cat.

It's remarkable how similar the look to domestic cats. If I didn't know better, I could easily believe they were just a breed of pedigree domestic cat that I hadn't seen before.
@@doublewhopper67 Lol, seriously. Blows my mind that people are all shocked by a cat looking like a cat. Wild dogs look like dogs. Wild cats look like cats. It only looks domestic because it's small.
I've seen a few.. in the sand of Saudi arabia....by far the most beautiful and the cutest cat you'll EVER seen ....they were friendly...its good to keep them near you in the desert...they kill everything that moves..they are not the normal cats
Cats are the only truly magical creature left in the world. And dolphins. And elephants. My longhaired dachshund is a genius so he's pretty special, too. But there's something about cats... My son was glad Molly cat wasn't any bigger. She tucked him in every night and was very strict about his bedtime. He had visions of a giant Molly picking him up by the scruff of his neck and carrying him off to bed herself. She kept him cozy every night. She had chosen him as her special human. Murphy, her brother, loved everybody. And they were treasured in return. The fun we had with those two goofy cats in the house!
My brother had a Tom cat. He, and his family had been out. When they came home. They're were two dead side winders, in the living room. The cats claws are perfect, for catching the snake behind the head... Good thing, he had young kids back then.
I SO appreciate the factual nature of the narration. So many youtube videos narrated by AI voiceovers created by non english speakers are barely tolerable, and then only for a few moments. Thank you for your precision and clarity.

8:58 "They become easy targets for sport hunting." I thought "sport hunting" was supposed to be a challenge. . Otherwise, it's called shooting fish in a barrel.
That’s funny I remember this is my all-time favorite animal when I was a kid they used to have those wildlife cards. I forget the name of them but it was like a monthly subscription and new cards would come every week or month and this was my favorite.
Cats are amazing! I live in an area surrounded by tall grass and sugarcane fields. It's not uncommon to find dead snakes in the morning, either in front of my door or just outside our gate, likely attempting to enter. I rescue stray cats, and they sleep all over the house. I also have tiny puppies, and my cats protect them from these snakes. There was also a memorable incident during a power outage when it was very dark. I had only one flashlight, and a bat flew inside. One of my cats instantly killed the bat with a single strike of its paw.
Sand cats have several physical adaptations that help them survive in arid environments, including large, furry paws that protect their feet from hot sand and a dense coat that insulates them from temperature extremes,Animals in frigid regions also need a substantial amount of fur on their legs to stay warm,nature is truly fascinating.
Greetings from South _Africa. Never knew about these cats until I randomly happened upon your doccie. Your excellent presentation and narration drew a subscription from me.

These cats need protection. That is a small amount population of these cats. And if hunting them for the sheer desire to kill something, anything without some protection, it can take less than two years to become endangered. But these are not the only species of small cats that are treated like pests. There is a tiny one of the Amazon (can't remember what they're called) are becoming fewer in number. So much focus on bigger species that the smaller ones, just as important, get overlooked & little to no funding for study.
@8:56 "due to their non-aggressive nature towards humans..." I was stationed in Saudi Arabia and we all got mandatory briefings about the locale. We were warned to stay away from Any cats because even domestic-looking felines might be interbred with Sand Cats, and that those things are vicious. While I was there, a girl got cut up pretty bad from trying to pet a cat she'd found near a dumpster. I saw one a few times, and they had a frightening expression of Hate on their faces. A few of your photos here show it.
Wow! Another species I have never heard of! These are similar to the Scottish wild cat in that they are small as house cats but unique to specific places.
There are videos aplenty of ordinary domestic cats with snakes. Maybe we don’t get to see the ones where the snake wins, but in the usual videos the cats are eerily fast compared with the snakes.
@@jdssurf I enjoyed the video. But definitely take some of the claims with a grain of salt. Evidently it is the sole inhabitant of the desert, never leaves a mark and doesn't ever drink water, except when it milks a camel. I don't know if the person who created it isn't a native English speaker or not, but some of the language could be adjusted to be more accurate. It's good overall, but needs some work.

Thanks for the Heart. Here's a true funny story a couple months ago I was in WalMart and a couple were approaching me and the young adult lady had a full size pussy cat costume on. So I sang out loud to them. "What's new pussycat. Woah, woah, woah. That a Tom Jones song from the 1960's." The husband said with excitement. "That's a great song." And we all laughed because I had the best line in that moment. I loved this sand cat video such an incredible animal that evolution perfected almost beyond belief. It's even better that the great Tom Jones song. Mother Nature is so amazing. I love her endlessly when I go for nature walks. The appreciation I put out attracts good things to me as per The Law of Attraction.

Sounds like a dream to cuddle with a Sand Cat. OMG!!!
I bet you knew my sister. She and her husband were there then, too.
Sand Cat: adorable on a megaton cuteness level, eats lethal vipers for breakfast. Then there's the manul. Nature is out to get us.
💕💕💕
cat no matter where or what they are the cutest animal ever. LOVE CAT FOREVER !
Cats never fail to amaze me. My cat dispatched a murder hornet with one swipe of his claws, and then came to me for cuddles.
Lion-hearted cat
Cats take care of their owners by eliminating inconvenient creatures: mice, rats, birds... hornets.
@@InconspicuousChap annoying neighbors & relatives...
I had to look up murder hornet. That’s a big nope for me. Where do u live? I’d have to move! Or buy 100 cats
Yep. So agree. I always enjoy watching videos of snake/cat encounters. Usually the snake never has a chance.
They're adorable! Look at those big fox like ears!
Hear insects half kilometers away
These cats are living in a gigantic litter box.
🤣🤣🤣

No coincidence. Domestic cats actually came from the African desert.
its still felis genus cat, all cats species within felis genus looks very similar.

And they don't even need stillsuits.
Most beautiful cat in my eyes
They definitely are good looking cats.
this is the most beautiful and intelligent animal. it survives the extremes and kills vipers. WOE!
These cats are the real rulers of the desert. They need to be protected from hunting. Thank you for the video.
Protect the sand cats.
I was raised with/by cats. I love them so much - - there are no words.
and very self involved
Cats are truly amazing creatures. I absolutely ❤ all of them.

If humans want to hunt, sport hunt, then let's get our evil greedy corrupt and psychopathic governments on the menu!
I think it's the U.S. military who does this. They are disgusting. And aren't these animals there becoming extinct?
Sport hunting is about collecting trophies or checking off boxes on a list
@@Adiscretefirm
Yep. Like any serial killer.
@@Adiscretefirmthey make excellent tacos..
Those cats have one hell of a litter box.
Indeed
I had no idea these existed. Incredible
What a gorgeous looking cat that was ❤
I think so too!
I did an adoption (support it financially for a year)a Sand cat at London zoo, when they were doing support a wildlife.
The way cats tighten up before they pounce is my mother's explanation of William Blake's line "Tiger, tiger, burning bright...".

Awesome creatures. That dark eye line makes me wonder if they are distant relatives of cheetahs, or just random evolution.
Given both are cats, that's very likely.
The Sand Cat is just too damn quick for most snakes.
Watching this cat survive reminds me of my 250 days in "The Long Dark".
All Cats Are Adorable.🤗🤗🤗🤗💖💖💖💖
indeed
They're Beautiful ❤️
They occasionally come across the fennec fox but they get along.
I was wondering the same thing 😃 I really want to see them together
I see that two images show sand cats in captivity (1:48 , 2:15). How well do they adapt to captive living? I imagine they would be hard to tame.

How are so cute ??? No matter how ferocious they are
Imagine a cat that doesn't drink, yet its scientific name is margarita! 😄
Might like pizza
Fantastic video. Your channel has such interesting animals
Thanks for the visit
My understanding is that predators don't follow footprints, though they may appear to, while following scent.
Sport hunters are pure evil.
So are avocado eaters
Wow! Another species I have never heard of! These are similar to the Scottish wild cat in that they are small as house cats but unique to specific places.
When you live in the desert, the whole world is your catbox...
Cats have faster reactions than a snakes strike.
There are videos aplenty of ordinary domestic cats with snakes. Maybe we don’t get to see the ones where the snake wins, but in the usual videos the cats are eerily fast compared with the snakes.
Sometimes. I’ve seen cat get caught by a python and eaten
Superb Video.
Thanks a lot
Gorgeous and adorable! Hope humans leave them to their world.
The eye markings look just like Egyptian eye makeup.
Or maybe it is the other way around....?
Lol. Sand Cat rascals!
Your videos never disappoint. Thanks a bunch!
Glad you like them!
My cat has similar traits to the sand cat. Short legs and tail, large ears, walks in a crouch.
there are all types of cats in the world !
I remember seeing a display of them at Brookfield Zoo. They do look cute.
Aaaaawww so cute 😍 💕 🥰
My dog found this video objectionable yet riveting.
Were these the cats that were mummified in tombs in Egypt?
Such cutie pies
Cats normally obtain they’re water from their food. So if they eat they get hydration. These cats prob amazing at pulling fluid from food.

These cats live inte desert bothering nobody so why are they being hunted!!!!??? Just for a trophy come on man please!!!!
A lot of people speak of the Fennec fox in North Africa but sand cats are considered more like a myth due to their stealthiness.

You said these cats are the sole desert inhabitants OWTTE. If that was the case then they'd be cannibals.
It looks like crossbreed between desert fox and domestic cat.
