[Fluffy sand cat with pale tan fur, striped legs, and black-tipped tail sits next to a gnarled tree stump on wood chip bed...
This bright wildlife photograph captures a small endangered sand cat, a native desert wild cat, sitting calmly in a naturalistic zoo enclosure. The cat has soft pale cream and sandy tawny fur, distinct dark horizontal leg stripes, a black-tipped tail, large pointed ears, and a relaxed, sleepy expression in warm daylight. The enclosure features light wood chip bedding, a gnarled hollow tree stump, and a woven mat in the background to mimic the species' native arid habitat.
