Cheetahs in Afghanistan
2008  Cat News (49): 18-18

The Asiatic cheetah _Acinonyx jubatus_ venaticus (Schreber 1776) once ranged from the Arabian Peninsula to India. Today not more than 100 cheetahs seem to have survived in the deserts of Iran (Farhadinia 2004). In Afghanistan the cheetah is considered to have been extinct since the 1950s (Habibi 2003).
