Oriol Alamany - The place of the Arabian Leopard

 

In a long trip to Oman I went to this beautiful wadi in the Dhofar region because I knew that it’s one of the last strongholds of the scarce Arabian Leopard (Panthera pardus nimr). I knew it was virtually impossible to see him, but I spent hours there exploring and looking through the binoculars until the nightfall prevented me keep watching.

Just knowing it was there was enough reward for me.
