Next, I'll tell you about the sand cats' habitat. Sand cats live in sandy and stony deserts in the range of Northern Africa, the Arabian Peninsula, and through central and southwest Asia; but the range is quite patchy since the population of the sand cat is so small and their areas of living are very specific.
They live in abandoned fox or porcupine burrows, or enlarge a burrow abandoned by gerbils or other small rodents. The burrows are usually 4.9 ft. deep and are dug in slightly slanting ground so they can get in and out of their burrows. Most sand cats live in zoos, so zoo keepers can breed sand cats to increase their population.
