The world's smallest subspecies of leopard is the recently recognized, and critically endangered, Arabian leopard Panthera pardus nimr. When adult, males weigh approximately 30 kg (66 lb), and females 20 kg (44 lb) – which is notably smaller than any of the leopard's other eight subspecies. In the past, the Somali leopard was deemed the world's smallest leopard, but this form is no longer recognized as a separate subspecies.
