They aren't that old. I remember the 2 being profiled on one of the zoo's episodes a couple of years ago. Cosmo is the male and he's around 7now. I can't remember the female's name. Nasmeen, something like that. They had one kitten and she was absolutely adorable. If you have National Geographic Wild channel, you can pull up the videos. They only had 1 season.
Hey NC Zoo, I just came to your zoo today and saw your ADORABLE sand cats! But I do have a question. Is it possible or even safe to have a sand cat as a pet?
That's a good question! Sand cats are small wild cats that inhabit desert environments in Africa and the Middle East. They may look cute but they are quite fierce! Their prey can include venomous vipers and other snakes.
