Here is the 87th page of my Explorer's Notebook for the Animal of the Month Event at : the Sand Cat!

This purr-fectly (I'm not sorry ) lovely feline lives in the deserts across North Africa and the western parts of Asia. They live far from water, finding the one they need when eating their preys, like small rodents, snakes, lizards and birds. They are mostly solitary, except when raising their young, and are mostly active at night, even though their large paws are protected by thick fur from the hot sand... Even though they look a lot like our domestic cats, you can't get confused if you see one moving: an Sand Cat runs low, near the ground, and fast (up to 40km/h), with some leaps between runs: They live in burrows they generally "borrow" from porcupines, rodents or foxes...
You can learn more about it here: Sand cat - Wikipedia

About the drawing: a lot of browns, yellows and ochers, it was quite challenging, but really interesting to do and it's such a cute kitty that I didn't mind

made with:
Faber Castell Pitt black markers
Various colored pencils
