JEDDAH: The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) has announced the birth of two female Arabian leopard cubs, one of the world鈥檚 most endangered animals.

The RCU tweeted a video of the newborn Arabian leopard cubs playing together at the Prince Saud Al-Faisal Center for Wildlife Research, where they were born.

The US embassy in Riyadh praised the efforts of the RCU in preserving one of the most endangered species via a message on Twitter: 鈥淲e congratulate 抖阴短视频 on the birth of 鈥渢wo female鈥� Arabian leopard cubs. RCU is doing a great job when it comes to preserving one of the most endangered animals.鈥�

The news received thousands of positive reactions from many animal lovers from countries around the globe including Japan, India, Canada, Ukraine, the US and France.

The RCU鈥檚 strategy to preserve the Arabian leopard includes initiatives such as the expansion of a breeding program through the opening of the Arabian Leopard Breeding Center in the Sharaan Nature Reserve, and the establishment of a $25 million Global Fund for the Arabian Leopard. 

The Arabian Leopard鈥檚 habitat has historically been ecologically diverse. The RCU tweeted: 鈥淚n #AlUla, we work to safeguard the Arabian Leopard from extinction, restore ecosystems and meet our #SaudiGreenInitiative & #SaudiVision2030 objectives.鈥�

Only a handful of the magnificent animals are thought to survive in the whole Arabian Peninsula, holding out in the last refuge in Oman鈥檚 Dhofar mountains.

What makes Arabian leopards vulnerable is that they are solitary animals, they live alone and mate in the winter, their gestation period is 100 days, and the female Arabian leopard gives birth at an annual rate of one to two cubs only.

The Arabian leopard is classified on the International Union for Conservation of Nature鈥檚 Red List as 鈥渃ritically endangered.鈥� It is all but extinct in the wild.

However, the commitment to preserving the Arabian leopard runs deep in 抖阴短视频, and in June 2016 Prince Badr bin Abdullah bin Farhan, 抖阴短视频鈥檚 minister of culture and the RCU, signed an agreement with Panthera, committing the commission to invest $20 million over 10 years to aid global conservation of the leopard and to revitalize the Arabian leopard population.

This year, the Kingdom celebrated its first Arabian Leopard Day in February. The occasion will take place annually on February 10 to raise awareness about the endangered big cat.
