| Insights into the feeding ecology of and threats to Sand Cat Felis margarita Loche,1858 (Mammalia: Carnivora: Felidae) in the Kyzylkum Desert, Uzbekistan | |
| 2019 Journal of Threatened Taxa (11): 13492-13496 | |
Little is known about the ecology of the Sand Cat _Felis margarita _throughout its range in the deserts of northern Africa to central Asia. We present observations of the Sand Cat in the southern Kyzylkum Desert, Uzbekistan, potentially preying upon a large bird and returning to the kill on subsequent nights. This record contributes to the knowledge about the feeding ecology and varied diet of the Sand Cat and its opportunistic hunting strategy. |
