A litter of wriggly Sand Cat kittens were born at Zoo Tel Aviv Ramat-Gan in Israel early in August this year. It was great news to the zoo keepers since these tiny wild cats are extinct in the wild in Israel and gradually going on a decline in their native habitats in Asia and North Africa according to zooborns.
The mother cat was doing a great job caring for the litter of four squirmy little kittens. They started exploring out of their den at three weeks old.
They are one of the smallest wild cat breeds, next to Rusty-spotted cats. These small, shy animals are adapted to living in the desert. They can thrive in some of world’s most deserted areas. They have large ears that give them acute hearing and work as radiators to release heat.

Oh these are gorgeous kittens. Can they not be bred elsewhere? This is too precious a species to go extinct.
so cute
If Ferengi had cats that is what they would look like, lol
I know nature lovers/fanatics will resent me for this suggestion but I do think endangered species like this would benefit from being ‘adopted’ by humanity.
We tend to like and be very protective of animals that look cute and that on its turn increase the survival rate of the species which is in general what nature is about.
Environmentalists will say that we ‘damage’ a species by doing this but seeing as these animals live in a region where not everyone cares so much about bio diversity, would it be such a crime to adopt these felines as companions (if possible)?
Aww they are adorable! Just look at those ears!
