Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | For several years we have passed the Sand Cat exhibit only to be greeted by an empty enclosure, or an isolated animal so far away inside in the darkness that one can hardly make out he is there. On this trip, my son softly yelled 'ay, sand cat'! And indeed, there was one, right next to the glass, though not in the best of positions for any meaningful photography. At least one for the record, even if we cannot see the face, we decide. The sand cat (Felis margarita), also known as the sand dune cat, is the only felid found primarily in true desert, and has a wide but apparently disjunct distribution through the deserts of northern Africa and southwest and central Asia. Since 2002 this small cat has been listed as Near Threatened by IUCN due to concern over potential low population size and decline. (Al Ain, UAE, Aug. 2008) |
