Royal Court Affairs succeeds in breeding critically endangered Arabian Leopard
One of the most notable births at the Wildlife Breeding Center is the female Arabian leopard named "Al-Muzn," now approximately two and a half years old, which is in excellent health after receiving continuous monitoring by specialists at the center. The center, affiliated with the Directorate General of Veterinary Services at the Royal Court Affairs, has also successfully bred and cared for two other leopards—a male and a female—both over three months old.
The Arabian leopard requires heightened care during its first few months, as this is a critical phase during which many cubs face mortality risks, including potential maternal rejection. The center has succeeded in early intervention to rescue, nurture, and stabilize the health of these leopards.
The center is currently caring for several Arabian leopards originally from Samhan Mountain in Dhofar Governorate, with the goal of increasing their population, protecting them from extinction, and eventually reintroducing them into the wild after ensuring their ability to survive and reproduce. Additionally, the center exchanges expertise, knowledge, and research with other breeding centers in the region.
It is worth noting that the center also breeds and conserves various other species native to Oman's environment, such as the Arabian gazelle, the Arabian tahr and other wildlife.

Arabian leopards in Oman saved from extinction with care
Muscat - The Royal Court Affairs (RCA) has succeeded in breeding Arabian leopards and protecting them from extinction by providing them with health care, nutrition, and a suitable environment for breeding. The female Arabian leopard, 'Al Muzn,' is one of the prominent offspring of the Wildlife Breeding Center (WBC). She was around two and a half years old and is in excellent health after receiving close follow-up care from specialists at the Wildlife Breeding Center, affiliated with the Directorate General of Veterinary Services at the Royal Court Affairs. The center has also been able to breed and care for two other leopards, a male and a female, who are over three months old. Arabian leopards receive special care during their first few months, a critical stage during which many leopard babies are at risk of dying, and the mother may refuse to care for her cubs. The center has intervened early to save and care for these leopards, ensuring their health is stable. The center cares for Arabian leopards native to Jabal Samhan in Dhofar Governorate by breeding and protecting them from extinction, and then reintroducing them to the wild after ensuring their ability to survive and reproduce. The center also exchanges expertise, knowledge, and scientific research with breeding centers in the region.
