During the day, sand cats primarily rest and seek shelter from the intense heat of their desert habitat. They are predominantly nocturnal, becoming active in the cooler temperatures of the night to hunt for prey such as rodents, birds, and insects. Their adaptations, including their ability to dig and create burrows, help them stay cool and conserve moisture during the daytime.
