Thank you Khaled for protecting these cats. Thank you for this video.

[@leevella9079]

Thank you for all that you do! I want to dedicate my life to conserving wild areas and wildlife, and will hopefully be a part of massive restoration efforts in the future. You are an inspiration. Thank you for saving our precious animals. I

[@ianhobbs4984]

That is great Steve as Leopards are my favorite big cat. And I was in Oman in 1969 I got to see the Fennec fox one night, and what a beautiful creature.

[@Akm_699]

Honey badgers, leopards and hyenas in Arabia? Wow

[@Dan-rr6pm]

There even used to be lions and Cheetahs, but they went extinct. The Arabian Cheetahs went extinct more than 50 years ago, and the Arabian lions went extinct centuries ago.

@@SBFSBF09528 The Asiatic cheetah such as the one in Iran is different from the Arabian cheetah, recently some mummies of the Arabian Cheetah were found inside a cave in Saudi Arabia, and after conducting genetic studies on the mummies, they’ve discovered that the Arabian Cheetah is different from the Asiatic and African cheetah, but they are genetically similar to the African Cheetah. A good thing is Saudi Arabia has a project to reintroduce African cheetahs into the region so cheetahs can thrive again in the Arabian Peninsula.

[@Dan-rr6pm]

@@SBFSBF09528 that’s good to hear, I hope one day we can reintroduce them to the Arabian Peninsula.

Such a unique creature. How the leopard has adapted to so many areas of the world is unparalleled

[@justcutiecats2733]

Not in wild America tho

[@dekgilang4435]

​@justcutiecats2733 because jaguars is already there

[@juno3189]

Yup. And they always outsurvive lions, cheetahs and tigers! What a survivor! And now they survived just long enough for people to raise awareness of them so that hopefully conservation of their species will flourish.The most adaptable of all big cats. ❤

شيء مذهل أن نشاهد النمر العربي في بيئتة الطبيعية وبصحة ممتازة

[@Silverfiddha]

I think the Arabian leopard is the most beautiful of its species.

[@شطررنج]

I believe that all living organisms present in the Arabian Peninsula appear much more beautiful and stronger than their counterparts in other regions, including the Arabian horse, the Arabian leopard, the Saluki, the world's fastest dog, falcons, and others. I think that the environment is the main reason for the strength of these organisms.

Never thought leopards surviving in dry atmosphere like Arabia... Amazing news to me

[@luboskalina6935]

Fantastic rare leopard! 👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@Redline6ix]

Illusive the wolves and leopards in the Arabian peninsula, used to see Wolves in the desert in Kuwait, normally lone Wolves but pretty cool thing to see in the desert!

[@almanthor4696]

I was literally crying watching this. May these animals thrive and multiply more in the wilds. God bless these beautiful creatures. God bless you Mr. Khalid. Big THANKS for sharing this video Steve.

[@NAMER-ARABI]

I hope that this wonderful, rare and endangered predator will be protected due to the systematic hunting and displacement There are only 200 individuals left, spread over the Sultanate of Oman, Yemen and Saudi Arabia, according to reports published in 2006. 💚🐾🐆🐾💚...🙏

Wow

[@jthomas8263]

Well Steve, Conservationists believe it to be among the last places in the UAE where the Arabian Leopard, which has not been seen in the UAE since 1995, still survives. A footprint of a Leopard was found here. Well 🐆🐆🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 They are now plans to Reintroduce Arabian Leopards in Wadi Wurayah and even in these parts of the UAE once more.

[@theboulder4914]

Oman not UAE

[@Salim_atiq]

In saudi we have all of this animals spically leopard just a little of number in special reserve may be 15 or less and we have the same nature of oman

[@68l1]

Cute little cat

[@cyburntwentytwelve2455]

Are Sinai Leopards related to Arabian Leopards?

[@x_a8s]

No

[@shafqatishan437]

Those are probably same as north African leopards

[@stefanhernold345]

Bring over a fiew specimen of *Persian leopard* in order to keep the *Arabian leopard* from vanishing into the genetic bottleneck.

[@yehielrosenberg851]

Are there any other places where Arbian Leopards can be seen?

[@NAMER-ARABI]

Its original homeland is the Arabian Peninsula, which until the middle of the twentieth century included the regions of southern Syria, Palestine, and the Emirates, but it has disappeared from these countries during the past seventy years. There are only 200 individuals left, spread over the Sultanate of Oman, Yemen and Saudi Arabia, according to reports published in 2006. The Arabian leopard is protected by law in the three countries in which it still exists, but nevertheless it is still being hunted and its area of ​​​​distribution is reduced, especially in the state of Yemen due to its current deteriorating political situation. 🙏💚🐆🐾

[@salehmansour1]

They live exclusively on the mountains across the peninsula. My grandfather have seen one on the southern mountain chain of Saudi Arabia

[@salehmansour1]

@@Lovemyfam93 you say the same thing your ancestors said, but God told us all about you. “The Jews and the Christians each say, “We are the children of Allah and His most beloved!” Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “Why then does He punish you for your sins? No! You are only humans like others of His Own making. He forgives whoever He wills and punishes whoever He wills. To Allah ˹alone˺ belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and everything in between. And to Him is the final return (18) O People of the Book! Our Messenger has indeed come to you, making things clear to you after an interval between the messengers so you do not say, “There has never come to us a deliverer of good news or a warner.” Now there has come to you a deliverer of good news and a warner. And Allah is Most Capable of everything (19) And ˹remember˺ when Moses said to his people, “O my people! Remember Allah’s favours upon you when He raised prophets from among you, made you sovereign, and gave you what He had never given anyone in the world (20) O my people! Enter the Holy Land which Allah has destined for you ˹to enter˺. And do not turn back or else you will become losers (21) They replied, “O Moses! There is an enormously powerful people there, so we will never ˹be able to˺ enter it until they leave. If they do, then we will enter! (22) Two God-fearing men-who had been blessed by Allah-said, “Surprise them through the gate. If you do, you will certainly prevail. Put your trust in Allah if you are ˹truly˺ believers (23) ˹Yet˺ they said, “O Moses! ˹Still˺ we will never enter as long as they remain there. So go-both you and your Lord-and fight; we are staying right here! (24) Moses pleaded, “My Lord! I have no control over anyone except myself and my brother. So set us apart from the rebellious people. (25) Allah replied, “Then this land is forbidden to them for forty years, during which they will wander through the land. So do not grieve for the rebellious people. (26)” Quran 5:18-26
