The Ocean o'Sand is located in thee desolation of Middle America. Swato is correct in that denial helps, somewhat...

Then you might instead answer the question of how to catch a lion in the desert with mathematical means.

With enough statistical data and a bit of triangulation it should be quite simple.

The probability method:
Needed: Laplace dice, Laplace wheel, Gaussian bell
One cycles on the Laplace wheel through the desert until a lion is sighted, then one throws the dice at it until it comes running towards you, then you put the bell on it (under which it will be caught with probability 1 = 100%)

Second probability method:
Put the cage in the desert. The probability of a lion being in the cage is not zero, so waithing long enough will do. One has just to close the door once the lion is inside.

Nested intervals method (aka Bolzano-Weierstraß method):
One dived the desert by a North-South fence and checks in which half there is a lion
Then one divdes that half with an East-West fence and checks in which side the lion is.
Repeat with step one
This way the lion can get fenced in as tightly as needed.

These are just a few of the numerous recorded methods.

Of course there are also physical and chemical methods like using lion-selective membranes to sieve the desert. Everything but lions will pass through. According to Heisenberg location and movement cannot be measured excatly at the same time. Therefore it is futile to try to catch a moving lion. Motionless lions on the other hand are of course easy to catch.

I'm sure that if you do some geometric exercises in the savannah using zebra patterns they will be interested enough to go to you.

I'm content to reckon the probablity on the zebra crossing (UK traffic stopping device) thaat the next stripe will be black, or white.
