The Arabian leopard ,the second most highly endangered large cat on Earth classified as critically by IUCN since 1996, is up to 30 times rarer than the Bengal tiger. There are probably fewer than 100 wild Arabian leopards left in widely scattered populations in Oman and Yemen and, 'Unless drastic action is taken across their range, I'm afraid that the Arabian leopard is not going to make it. These beautiful cats are also the smallest of all the nine subspecies of leopard and most genetically distinct of all leopard subspecies. Adult females can weigh less than 20 kg and even a "big" male is smaller than the average German shepherd
