This small spruce was so lovely that I had to climb in it. Dunno why. I just flapsed and there I was.

Have a look at the blog post at Youssouf's Sheeplog with this photo.

To see where this photo was taken exactly, have a look at the interactive map and zoom in and out for a better overview.

Sand Cat

The Sand Cat can be found in Arabia and Jordan. They are mostly nocturnal. Thick fur enables them to retain body moisture and they also have hair on the soles of their feet to protect them from hot ground.

They eat a variety of rodents, particularly gerbils, and also reptiles and occasionally hares and birds. They are also known to kill snakes, which they stun with rapid blows to the head before killing them with a neck bite.

Said to be the companion of the prophet Mohammed this means that they are not usually hunted. In some areas, however, they are taken both for sport and for the pet trade. Cats may also be taken by large birds of prey if they are out during the daytime. These are one of the few types of cat that are not threatened by habitat destruction.

They are classified Lower Risk.

Street Dog - Perfect Specimen

This is my favorite type of street dog. It has the large head and body of a German Shepherd, with the short legs of a Wiener Dog or a Beagle. I would refer to this variety as a "Smooshed German Shepherd."
