Sand cat
Felis margarita harrisoni
The sand cat is also known as the desert cat. It has a very large head in proportion to the rest of its body. With its large ears, this little feline will simply blow you away! Fully adapted to life in a desert environment, the sand cat is perfectly able to withstand the desert’s extreme temperature variations. Found in the Sahara and the Arabian Peninsula, they are formidable snake predators!
In Europe, the sand cat has been part of a breeding program since 1998. This program has been managed by our park since 2012.
