Sand cats are primarily nocturnal, meaning they are most active during the night. They hunt for prey such as small rodents, birds, and insects after sunset when temperatures are cooler. Their nocturnal behavior helps them avoid the extreme heat of the desert during the day and allows them to take advantage of the cover provided by the darkness to stalk their prey. Additionally, they utilize their keen sense of hearing and sight to navigate and hunt effectively in the night.
