Indian Desert Cat spotted in MP’s Panna Tiger Reserve

An Indian Desert Cat has been spotted for the first time in Madhya Pradesh’s Panna Tiger Reserve (PTR), a senior forest official claimed. A tourist has shared the pictures taken by him of an Indian Desert Cat in the reserve’s Akola buffer zone recently, during the night safari. As the name suggests, this cat is found in deserts and can survive without water. The toes of the species have cushion like hair which help it balance the fluctuating desert temperatures. The official also said the presence of the desert cat in the PTR indicates that the number of species of various wild animals is increasing in the reserve due to security being heightened in its forest areas. In August this year, a fishing cat, one of the endangered animals in India, was spotted in the PTR.
