Sand Cat sighted at Merzouga for the first time in more than two decades.
Observations of Sand Cats in Tafilalt region (and also at Figuig to the north-east) are so rare that some authors consider the presence of the species here as ‘uncertain’.
First sighting of Sand Cat at Merzouga, Morocco, in the 21st century
