And even whether any leopards at all still roam the wilderness areas of Ein Gedi. I discovered that Hariton the leopard entered kibbutz Ein Gedi twice in earlier years, and was once spotted carrying off in his fangs a house cat, which he later devoured. Apparently at this time there were two leopards left in the Judea Desert, Hariton and a female.<\/p>\n<p>According to a study from Tel Aviv University, altogether there were only eight leopards left in the entire country up until a few years ago. The study, conducted by Inbar Perez in 2006 as part of her degree in zoology, was intended to provide the Nature and Parks Authority with information to help preserve the leopards, which have been in danger of extinction for years.\u00a0 Fewer than 100 leopards are estimated to be left in the Arabian Peninsula (Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Oman) and in the rest of the region, including Israel, fewer than 50.<\/p>\n<p><b>Ein Gedi is an oasis on the western shore of the Dead Sea and one of the most important archaeological sites in the Judean Desert.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The name means <i>Kid Spring<\/i>: a compound of two Hebrew words: <i>ein<\/i> meaning spring, and <i>gdi<\/i> meaning young goat. Ein-Gedi is actually the name of a spring which flows from a height of 656 feet above the Dead Sea. In the Bible, the wasteland near the spring where David sought refuge from Saul is called &#8220;the wilderness of Ein-Gedi&#8221; and the enclosed camps at the top of the mountains, the &#8220;strongholds of Ein Gedi.&#8221; Ein Gedi is mentioned for the first time in the Old Testament (Joshua 15, 61) among the list of the six desert-cities in the domain of the tribe of Judas (Yehudah). <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ein_Gedi\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11044\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11044\" class=\"size-large wp-image-11044\" src=\"https:\/\/www.anneskyvington.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/ibex-ein-gedi-reserve-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Nubian ibex in Ein Gedi Reserve, Israel\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.anneskyvington.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/ibex-ein-gedi-reserve-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.anneskyvington.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/ibex-ein-gedi-reserve-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.anneskyvington.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/ibex-ein-gedi-reserve-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.anneskyvington.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/ibex-ein-gedi-reserve-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.anneskyvington.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/ibex-ein-gedi-reserve.jpg 1107w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-11044\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nubian ibex in Ein Gedi Reserve, Israel<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Some pictures and photos of Ein Gedi are reminiscent of images I gleaned from biblical references of the Garden of Eden as a child.<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\" style=\"margin: 0;
