Ilani, G.
The life and times of Humibaba the leopard
1987  Israel Land & Nature (12): 82-83

For quite a few years now, we have kept track of leopards _(Panthera pardus)_ in the Judean Desert, with extremely interesting results, and we have become very familiar with certain individual leopards in the area between Enot Tzuqim (M-18) an En Gedi (L-21). One female, which we first identified in 1978, was named Humibaba. We have observed her ever since in her home range, between Enot Tzuqim and En Gedi. In June 1980, we were able to fit her with a telemetry transmitter, making it possible to conduct even more detailed observations.
