Aridlands and Desert Carnivores

Visit our Aridlands House and Desert Carnivores complex to find out more about the following hardy species.

  • Sand Cats – who look deceptively like domestic cats and have furry pads on their feet for walking on hot sand.
  • Addax – who can survive for a year without drinking water
  • Dorcas Gazelles whose delicate legs and tiny hooves enable them to traverse rocky and mountainous terrain
  • Dwarf Mongoose who live in termite mounds and burrows, eating anything which scuttles past
