    Who last saw a living Zanzibar Leopard?

    Question #103370. Asked by author. (Feb 26 09 6:52 PM)


    BRY2K

    		The Zanzibar Leopard has never been studied in the wild and the last time a researcher claimed in print to have seen one was in the early 1980s. Most zoologists presume the Zanzibar Leopard to be extinct or very nearly so. The population size is totally not known.

    However, Zanzibar government statistics indicate that leopards were still being killed by hunters in the mid-1990s, and islanders continue to report sightings and the predation of livestock.

    The last outside researcher to claim an actual sighting of the leopard was Swai and his troupe.
