Abstract: Morphological description of the cheetah in Arabia, including skull and dentition. In
addition, there is information about the former distribution and last observations of the species in
this area. In Oman a specimen was shot as late as 1977, and in Yemen an individual was seen in
1963. The authors consider that it may still have existed in Iraq at that time.
