The initial record of the Cheetah in Arabia dates from 1950 and this being from the photograph of your skin of the animal shot in Northern Saudi Arabia (1). There were mentions of tracks and sightings ahead of that date. Back in 1950, like today people often mistook Cheetah for Leopard or Tiger. These combine of names are incredibly common as well as quite reputable newspapers is likely to make the big mistake.

You will find just two records for Cheetah within the Southern section of Arabia. One is from Oman as well as the other from Yemen. The Yemen animal would be a ‘sighting’ of your animal in Wadi Mitan, South Yemen in 1963. The Oman record is from a pet killed by tribesmen in 1977 inside the Jibjat part of Dhofar
The IUCN Red List on the web states the http://sever3d.hubpages.com/hub/African-Wildlife-Art-Oil-Paitings-of-Cheetah is regionally extinct within the United Arab Emirates and Oman. It states this without showing the species ever actually occurred in the United Arab Emirates and based on the single Oman record. Inside the comprehensive 1998 'Current Status of the Cheetah' mention is constructed of the single Oman specimen however the United Arab Emirates does not get a mention as a possible area of former distribution. african-safari-holiday.tumblr.com
