Mammals of Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia is home to a diverse range of mammals, including species adapted to desert, mountain, and coastal environments. Notable mammals include Arab oryx and sand gazelles, which survive in arid areas, as well as the Arabian leopard, a rare and endangered predator. There are also larger species like mountain goats and hyenas, along with smaller mammals such as rodents and bats. Many of these species are specially adapted to the harsh desert climate, relying on unique survival strategies. Conservation efforts aim to protect these unique mammals amid habitat loss and climate challenges.
