The five puppies were born to the cats Sabia and Marib, who came on safari from France and Sweden about two years ago to continue the breeding nucleus of the breed, which is in global danger of extinction.

Five kittens were born this month on a safari in Ramat Gan.
The five were born to the cats Sabia and Marib, who came about two years ago on a zoo safari in France and Sweden.
For the first few weeks, they were distant from each other, but gradually the bond grew stronger - until her grandfather became pregnant.
The excitement in the safari was great, mainly because the sand cats are an endangered species.

About a month ago, safari workers were happy to discover the puppies.
The caregivers looked at them from a distance and did not approach them, so as not to disturb the young mother, and allowed her conditions for the care of the puppies.
Weeks later, the five opened their eyes, began to go out into the yard and Father Marib also reunited with them.
Sometimes there is a fear of connecting with the father lest he harm the puppies, but the mother Sabiya keeps her children and does not allow him to approach dangerously.

Sand cats are in global danger of extinction.
All zoos in Europe currently have a total of 178 cats;
In the wild, there are less than 10,000 sand cats.
In the past, they also lived in Israel but became completely extinct, and small populations still live in the deserts of Asia and Africa.
Zoos, like the safari, that take part in their breeding nucleus, make great efforts to multiply them.
In the future, the pups will move to zoos across Europe, and they will continue the lineage and breeding nucleus.
