We took one of those home from Morocco when I was 6 years old in early 70’s. They were still very rare in Morocco back then, we don’t know how she got there or where her tribe was, but she was starved and would not have lived long. She was about 1 year old according to our Vet, and by the time she died she was an ancient 25 years old. She never lost her instincts and sometimes would be gone for weeks, but always came back to our family. She was a simply amazing companion to our family for many many years.

@Lanii G I think the key is to not force a cat like that to become what you want it to be, but gently nudge it and provide a save place with consistency and privacy. We have a Bengal and a Serval. I noticed that no matter how “loving” and cuddly you are, they have their own mind and you can’t manipulate or control them with love. You can however make them highly interested in you and coming back for more by way of playing with them and keeping them entertained, interested and steady consistency is the most important of all. Just my two cents…
@@lowrider81hd Caracal is a wild cat, it is bred with house cats to make the Bengal, so perhabs you mean you had a Caracal? if so, then allow me to envy you for ever petting a caracal kitten :P

Fun fact: Sand cats have dense hair and pads on the soles of each foot that protect against the intense heat and cold of their habitat, as well as aiding in movement across the sand. The pads help them navigate across shifting sands. Sand cats are fearless snake hunters, their prey can include venomous vipers and other snakes.
Given how they are capable of surviving in such extreme environment, imagine how easy would they be able to adapt to living in my living room with three meals a day excluding the occasional snacks and a warm bed
It would be difficult for them....granted their whole lifestyle is adjusted according to desert ecosystem...So it would put pressure on them to adjust in a normal household environment 😅😅
"They'll call out making a sound resembling a bark! But I won't actually let you hear it because I will be saying the previous sentence loudly over the recorded audio of the sand cat." 5:19
I was working and living on an oil lease in lea county new mexic for about 3 years. I got glimpses of several of these cats during that time. Views so brief that I thought they were cougars because they had a long tail but I had nothing to judge their overall size. Finally one day three of them walked across the road 20 yards in front of me and i was able to find pictures of them on the internet and was able to learn what they were. My boss had lived in the area 60 years and had never seen one or knew they existed. The town of Jal, NM has a high school whos mascot is a wildcat and i was maybe 30 miles from Jal. Getting to see them is one of the most memorable experiences of my life.
"Fortunately for the same reason that they are hard to study, they're also protected from poaching and human encroachment." Let's keep it that way for the best
Umm no. I saw at a show that there is a mini zoo in Korea or a research facility and they had some of these guys there. They had like one wide open space to move around. Maybe they were rescued from poachers or something. Though it was a few years back, practically older than this clip.
well protected doesn't mean they're invulnerable. I do not mind if one or two of these creature are "domesticated" for research purpose if treated properly. I am sure that zoo or research facility on a show that you mention have high standard on how to deal with rare animal and such.
@@A-Goose- You can’t domesticate them. It would take thousands of years. They will always be wild cats at heart. Also, unless the sand cat was born in captivity, taking an animal from its natural habitat and forcing it to live in an enclosed space is just plain wrong.
@@amberlytownsend2856 it won’t take thousand years, experiments have been done on foxes to make them domestic in around 40 generations, there are also observations on ‘metro dogs’ which went from domesticated to wild in 40-60 generations. Though this selective breeding comes with side effects too. Like wild foxes got soft skin when domesticated , and domesticated dogs started getting wolf like features when becoming wild. Same thing might happen when domesticating the cats, they will get domesticated in 40-60 gens, but wouldn’t look like they are looking right now. (Also the ethics point of view like you said)

@@Fifi-jb3yx Yes, I meant the modern Human. Those that want it's fur and do not respect Nature. In Amazon Forest there are also people living for thousands of years and the Flora and Fauna was intact.
@@AnimeGamerCreater might be the case of a "long lost relative": after all, both Egypt and Fertile Crescent - the places where agriculture had been invented, - are quite close to Arabian peninsula, which used to have _a bit less_ hostile environment several thousands years ago, so ancient farmers might've had it easier at encountering those useful mouse hunters.
@@yomamasofatwhenshewalksshe2401 you never see racing games dude cameraman run as fast as your car even if you upgrade your car to max level and have nitros
Imagine being lost in the desert, thirsty and you think you are hallucinating and all of a sudden you just see a cat chilling. You'd think you're tripping. Especially if it takes off running.
a lot of these kittens grow up fast in size in nature... i noticed this living with a. family of domestic cats on a jungle island beach. they were still pretty small at two months but suddenly grew so fast and at six months, they looked almost adult. they ate a lot of fish and we're extremely active, climbed trees, rocks, played in the low tide lands as the sea was very shallow at low tide
@Grande Leonardo If you're serious: There is literally a picture of a sand cat in the Cincinatti zoo, Bristol zoo and unnamed captive location on the wikipedia page of sand cats, with a dedicated section about them being in captivity since the 60s... Also if you look at 0:53, the background is clearly painted and the lighting is off for many of the shots - as there's not nearly enough bounce-lights for real sunlight. (The sun is bright AF)
I worked at a small zoo and we had a sand cat! He was super soft and gentle (when he wanted to be! hated men! He was neutered and the last person he saw before anesthesia was the owner, who is a man) He had a wicked bite if you riled him to much and sharp claws (I still have my scars lol). The room was usually empty and I always let him out to play with him, he loved walking in my legs and jumping on my shoulders. Miss that cat, he went to a sister zoo before I quit (Had family troubles)
My cousin used to work at a zoo and one of the Puma's there loved him! Every time he came in, she would run over and jump up to give him a hug and a love nibble on the chin while purring. She would bight just gently enough to do no harm but firmly enough it would hurt if he tried to jerk away. My cousin always complained he was afraid his brains were going to be scrambled cause her teeth on his chin really amplified the vibrations. xD
The fact it can live and travel several miles per day without ever needing water is mind-blowing. Can you imagine if we evolved humans to not need to drink? I think that would be equally mind-blowing.
The secret really comes down to super efficient kidneys. Even domestic cats have really supercharged kidneys (and sadly the reason older cats often get kidney problems because they're so overengineered). Though with domestic cats, easy access to safe water means they don't really need full reliance on getting water from their prey. Generally kidneys work by first excreting a lot of fluid and then running it through a water recovery system that reabsorbs only the water back into the blood and with sand cats, that water recovery system before the urine is passed to the bladder is supercharged.

If I was a cat,I'd rather be a caracal or lynx than this cutie.
@@myk1137 I love caracels
Me at beginning of video: aww, sand cats are so cute!
Me seeing their kittens: *heart explodes*
Right lol
The sand babies look so serious and confused just like regular cats
Same sameeee
Este comentario me representa
i literally screamed when i saw the kittens
I demand this this sand cat be called into HR to give an explanation for this behavior. Its cuteness is offensively adorable.

Nobody gonna talk about how the cat swallowed a mouse whole
Pooped out a whole mouse skeleton a few hours later...
@@taiyoctopus2958 I thought they usually do that.
My cat does that, I've watched her eat a mouse whole a couple dozen times now. She goes out and hunts every morning. I leave cat food out for her but she prefers to find her own.
The mouse is about 1"
Wouldn't eating the food whole make the digestion slower effectively easing their hunger longer?
They Look WAY TOO MUCH Like Domestic Cats, Now They are Hurting My Brain..
Look up the European wildcat.
SluttChops that cant be wild no way
Why Do You Put Caps At The Start Of Each Word?
our house cats are master hunters! killers! its fun to think about that when you look at their cute and innocent little faces. they dont need us, we just satisfy their laziness lol
Because all domesticated cats are descendants from sand cats
They're so adorable. especially the kittens. I wonder how the cameraman kept himself from petting them
"They are protected from poaching and human ecroachment"
Now I feel relieved.
Alhamdulillah.
I hope this cat still exist in the wild, they are so cute 😆
...and that by their environment where they live, not by humans though.
@@munasir88 They do.
@@omoikane8961 many people live in the desert and have for years. they're called bedouins.
@@Fifi-jb3yx Yes, I meant the modern Human. Those that want it's fur and do not respect Nature.
In Amazon Forest there are also people living for thousands of years and the Flora and Fauna was intact.
It looks like in a house cat was thrown in the desert and evolved to live there
😅
It might be an ancestor to the Arabian Mau breed
@Poppy Weller hmm idk cause they said this cat is very ilusive and there arent many of them
@@AnimeGamerCreater might be the case of a "long lost relative": after all, both Egypt and Fertile Crescent - the places where agriculture had been invented, - are quite close to Arabian peninsula, which used to have _a bit less_ hostile environment several thousands years ago, so ancient farmers might've had it easier at encountering those useful mouse hunters.
Anyone else find this post ironic?
Me to my cat next time she doesnt wanna eat her food:
"There is literally *sandcats* dying in Africa for a meal like this, eat your food"
I thought they said arabian desert ?! Or am wrong ? Cuz arabian desert considered to be in asia.
NUB I believe they have sand cats in Africa as well
@@handsomearabian sand cats live in Morocco, I have seen many of them in the Moroccan desert

Almost every cat does that.Even stray cats do the same thing.

Aww such an adorable Kitty. **Tries to pet it**
Cat: *So you've chosen death*
don't think you can chase them through the ground
@I see Everything! Lol *jokes don't make you puke lol*
Those cats are very close to the domestic cat (that is from northern africa). Im sure they cant interbreed.
@I see Everything! Then *puke*
So how about those who pet lion and cheetah in Dubai?

I mean if I lived in the desert I'd look worried all the time too
That's fair
I live near Victorville and can attest to this
Vegas is not that bad
@Trouble Helpers me? Oh the person behind me ok...*awkwardly shuffles away?*
Imagine being lost in the desert, thirsty and you think you are hallucinating and all of a sudden you just see a cat chilling. You'd think you're tripping. Especially if it takes off running.
a lot of these kittens grow up fast in size in nature...
i noticed this living with a. family of domestic cats on a jungle island beach.
they were still pretty small at two months
but suddenly grew so fast
and at six months, they looked almost adult.
they ate a lot of fish
and we're extremely active, climbed trees, rocks, played in the low tide lands as the sea was very shallow at low tide
What is it about cats that makes you fall in love with them immediately after seeing them.
Introversion!!??
Toxoplasmosis?
Their suspicious looks! :)
they are smol
Neoteny?
i just realized cats are almost everywhere. the forest, the mountain, the desert, on the road, in your gfs house, your ex'es house....
The sea
Jokes on you I don't have an ex
Yeah they about taking over the world
Your mother's house, your house, the back yard...
Except Australia.
Until recently.
my stress melted when i saw the babiessss😭😭my heart cant handle the cutenesss
Why would you narrate over their "bark", would've been nice to hear what they sound like
the cameraman is probably very very far from the cat and the bark is not recorded at all.
@@User-xw5mk No, it is probably because the cats are behind a glass. It looks like they filmed this in a zoo.
Nearly all audio on these style of nature videos are added in post production. The crew is usually way too far away to record audio.
I'd like to see you record some audio from nearly over a mile away or with trap cams.
@Grande Leonardo If you're serious: There is literally a picture of a sand cat in the Cincinatti zoo, Bristol zoo and unnamed captive location on the wikipedia page of sand cats, with a dedicated section about them being in captivity since the 60s... Also if you look at 0:53, the background is clearly painted and the lighting is off for many of the shots - as there's not nearly enough bounce-lights for real sunlight. (The sun is bright AF)
I worked at a small zoo and we had a sand cat! He was super soft and gentle (when he wanted to be! hated men! He was neutered and the last person he saw before anesthesia was the owner, who is a man) He had a wicked bite if you riled him to much and sharp claws (I still have my scars lol). The room was usually empty and I always let him out to play with him, he loved walking in my legs and jumping on my shoulders. Miss that cat, he went to a sister zoo before I quit (Had family troubles)
Do you have any video of it barking?
Up load the barking video in TH-cam if u have it
The cat had family troubles??
My cousin used to work at a zoo and one of the Puma's there loved him! Every time he came in, she would run over and jump up to give him a hug and a love nibble on the chin while purring. She would bight just gently enough to do no harm but firmly enough it would hurt if he tried to jerk away. My cousin always complained he was afraid his brains were going to be scrambled cause her teeth on his chin really amplified the vibrations. xD
The fact it can live and travel several miles per day without ever needing water is mind-blowing. Can you imagine if we evolved humans to not need to drink? I think that would be equally mind-blowing.
The secret really comes down to super efficient kidneys. Even domestic cats have really supercharged kidneys (and sadly the reason older cats often get kidney problems because they're so overengineered). Though with domestic cats, easy access to safe water means they don't really need full reliance on getting water from their prey. Generally kidneys work by first excreting a lot of fluid and then running it through a water recovery system that reabsorbs only the water back into the blood and with sand cats, that water recovery system before the urine is passed to the bladder is supercharged.
I have already unlocked this skill now am.trying to reach the level where I have a coat that keeps me cool in heat and warm in cold
Kidneys like a pair of rocks.
fruit and other things have a lot of water
he probably pisses very little too, which might suck when you need to communicate with urine
I just can't come to terms that this creature is so deadly but cuteness level 😍 I'll be tempted to pet this one

Animalogic: "the sand cats were discovered in 2015"
Humans: "let's domesticate it."
I W A N T O N E
I'll donate one to Shane Dawson
they were described in 1858 doe
Cats domesticated themselves
They are not discovered in 2015, there is just little information they know about them.
why are all the cats so perfect...
I hope the sand cats stay hidden because knowing humans, they are gonna grab it and sell it like a pet.

You'd have to do some eugenics first
And what's wrong with that? Pet species aren't exactly in danger of extinction, after all...
