CAT CHARACTERISTICS

The Arabian Leopard is the smallest Leopard subspecies.
The Arabian Leopard’s coat is typically creamy-grey to golden, often lighter than many other Leopard subspecies.
Male Arabian Leopards typically weigh around 30 kg, about half of its African cousins.

FACT FILE

Range: historically the Arabian Leopard roamed the Arabian Peninsula from the Negev desert to the UAE. Today it likely exists in only isolated pockets in Oman, Yemen and possibly Saudi Arabia.
Health: there are estimated to be fewer than 200 Arabian Leopards surviving in the wild.
Main threats: habitat loss, depredation of prey, human-Leopard conflict.
As of 2022 there are 2 ongoing captive breeding programs in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The Saudi program is managed by Royal Commisssion for AlUla (RCU), which aims to eventually reintroduce Arabian Leopards into the wild.
