The sand cat (Felis margarita) is a small cat adapted to the deserts of Africa & Asia (Sahara, Arabian, Karakum).

Long hairs cover their paws to protect them from burning sands & they can dig burrows to hide in during the hottest part of the day.

Let's talk about the original Sandy Paws. 🎅🐱

The natural world is a wonderful place. This is timelapse video from a few years ago of a marine sponge sneezing. It has mucus inside that traps the sort of particles that might clog it up, and expels them in periodic contractions every 3-8 hours. Atchoo!

If you are having trouble accessing solar wind data using apps like Space Weather Live, I recommend checking out Glendale App or Norlys which allow you to switch between ACE and DSCOVR and update the active spacecraft to minimize data dropouts.
