Rediscovering desert ghosts: new records and range extensions of the sand cat and Saharan striped polecat in Libya

Exciting news, this paper outlines the first documented sighting of the sand cat (Felis margarita) in Libya, and new sightings of the Saharan striped polecat (Poecilictis libyca) outside of it's known region. The paper then goes into the observation methods, and people involved in collecting the images and tracking these cats.

More images, and a video can be found on a The Guardian aricle called, 'No one believed it': how a YouTube video accidentally proved Libya's sand cat really does exist.
