Four sand kittens, considered extinct in Israel, were born 3 weeks ago at the Ramat Gan Safari near Tel Aviv, an open-air zoo, but photos were only recently made public. The sand cat (Felis margarita) has been listed as a ‘threatened species’ by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
