The sand cat is not a good climber or jumper, but it is an excellent digger. It uses this digging ability to dig burrows in the sand to escape the heat of the day.
The Rosamond Gifford Zoo is pleased to offer a variety of animal demonstrations and free daily tours this summer. Demonstrations and keeper talks not only give guests the opportunity to learn more about the animals, but also allow them to interact directly with the zoo's knowledgeable staff.
