Rare Sand Kittens Born in Israeli Zoo


A sand cat at the Ramat Gan Safari Park became pregnant after a mate was brought in from Sweden. The cats were previously considered extinct in Israel.

12. This is one of the last places you should look for cat videos, but we found one worth an exception. Israeli zookeepers thought their attempt to provide a mate for their lone sand cat — a rare feline that thrives in desert environments but is considered extinct in Israel — failed. They were wrong. The three kittens made their public debut this week.

I just tried the second link (in Catapult's post above) and it works. The kittens could easily be mistaken for regular tabby kittens, but the parents have really unique, almost fox-like faces.
