  • Their ears are large, so that they can hear even low sound. Their toes have hair-like cushions that allow it to adapt to the temperature fluctuations of the desert. This species can survive even without water.
  • Their color is such that they can easily hide in the desert sand. They rest during the day and hunt small animals and birds during the night.
  • Habitat destruction, breeding with domestic cats and poaching are major threats to them. This is protected under Schedule-I of the Indian Wildlife Protection Act, 1972 and included in the category of ‘Least Concern’ in the Red List of IUCN.
