There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Ah ok in any case ,I highly recommend visiting the salalah area espesically during Khareef and exploring the mountains.

I know what you mean, like I myself mentioned earlier, Salalah in the southern region of the Dhofar Mountains near Yemen turns green during the Khareef (Monsoon), because its climate is influenced by the Indian monsoon: https://books.google.com/books?id=VENtDw...on&f=false

Have you ever thought about taking a trip to oman to maybe spot some arabian leopards? I remember driving in salalah and seeing a wolf cross the road but no leopards.

Here is more information on Arabian mountains: https://wildfact.com/forum/topic-hillock...#pid123694

This was shown in YouTube last year. It would have to be in the western mountainous region of the Sarawat, which is composed of the Midianite (in the north, towards the Levant), Hijazi (middle, including Mecca and Medina) and 'Asiri (southern, towards Yemen) subranges:

Rare pictures of an Arabian leopard being collared:

"Some cool photos of my father working in southern Oman on the Arabian leopard project in the early 2000’s."

"the helis were used to move the cages into wadis (canyons) using cables underneath them. The cages would then stay there and any leopards trapped would be studied and collared in the field, at the location where they were caught. The leopard project is ongoing but they have shifted away from trapping and collaring for now, relying more on camera traps."
