Great to hear from someone who bears witness to those beautiful creatures. I wonder if they are still there? I hope they’ve not died out completely like our Tasmanian Tiger. Thanks for your comment, Anthony.

Enjoying your posts.
there were Leopards at Ein Gedi when I was in Israel in 1979. I was on Kibbutz Revivim, in the Negev, but travelled a lot around the Ein Gedi/Massada area. Stunning places.

Thanks for the input, Dina. The reference to Ein-Gedi and the “last leopard”, had a powerful impact on me when I first read it, conjuring up images of exotic, faraway places and cultures.

She was a German Jewish refugee who lived for a time in Israel, then called Palestine. For more on Capriccio see my blog at dinadotdavis.wordpress.com.

Thanks for this, and for the link. Good to hear about species being supported like this. Anne

It is a great place to hike with pools and waterfalls. Israel has been quite successful in re-introducing wildlife that were native to this area, like the fallow deer http://israel-tourguide.info/2012/12/11/introducing-fallow-deer/

Great Dina. I love your “Capriccio” writings.
