		The sand partridge, Ammoperdix heyi, is considered a game bird of the pheasant family, Phasianidae.
		This 22-25 cm bird is characterized by its relatively smaller size in comparison with the chukar partridge, in addition to its sandy-brown plumage, the blue-grey head, and the white cheek patch with a yellow-orange bill that could be recognized easily in adult males.
		It is important to conserve and protect its habitat as part of our responsibility towards protecting our natural heritage.

		Although these species are not stressed by high saline load, the active secretions of salt gland allows them to minimize water losses.
		Other desert birds, such as the Sand Partridge (Ammoperdix heyi) and the Ostrich (Struthio camelus), have functional salt glands, which are stimulated in response to high temperature.
		Thus, salt glands are not restricted to birds that live in saline or maritime habitats, but are also present in some terrestrial forms that consume little water (Sabat 2000).

	Wild Cats in Palestine
		In the following years more caracals were observed, also in northern Palestine, indicating a possible competition between jackals and caracals.
		Jackals have the competitive advantage as their main food source is garbage dumps, whereas caracals are dependent on game.Caracals feed mainly on hares, but also on chukar and desert partridges (Ammoperdix heyi), and occasionally also on hedgehogs, rodents, etc. Several cases have been recorded of caracals preying on gazelles.
		They also take dead chickens and turkeys that have been thrown on garbage dumps by poultry farms, and a caracal was also reported to have been seen driving a hyaena from a carcass at one of the feeding stations that are run by the Nature Reserves Authority for vultures.
