Do Not Pet
<p>An Indian desert cat <em>Felis silvestris ornata</em>, also called the Asiatic wildcat, captured by a carefully-placed camera trap, is caught mid-step in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. The cat has a beautifully-patterned sandy coat and, like many other species, is capable of surviving without water for long periods in arid habitats.</p>
