Mummified cheetahs could help save the critically endangered big cats
Cheetahs were spotted on the Arabian Peninsula as recently as 1977. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Seven naturally-mummified cheetahs are more than just an exciting paleontological find. The specimens discovered in five caves near the city of Arar in northern Saudi Arabia offer a glimpse of hope for reintroducing the species to the Arabian Peninsula. The findings are described in a study published today in the journal .
