Are there any big cats that can survive in a primarily desert area?
I have two large continents on an earth like world. I would like for the dominate predator on the more desert continent to be a large cat. I have found the leopards and jaguars of Egypt, but am uncertain how much they actually live in the desert. I want a second opinion to catch anything I might have missed, I am not the best at research. I am willing to create a cat that can survive in this kind of environment but would like some real world examples to base it off of. Or at least a mythological cat from the correct kind of region.
The desert is set up a lot like Egypt and its surrounding area with swamps on the coast line. I would like for my cat to be able to survive in the swamp and the desert.
