Yotvata and the Leopard Temple
Israel Negev desert today is a dry and desolated land. Surprisingly this area was populated in ancient times and if you look closely enough you can still find their artifacts. Here Ori and his two buddies are exploring the area between Shaharut and Yotvata. Who are the people who worshiped the leopards? Can we find the elusive leopard here? Join us to find out!

The hike from Shaharut to Yotvata is about 5 to 6 hours walk. You can return with a bus but you need to pre-book it. All other sites in this video are a short walking distance from the road.
Tips for hiking in the desert:
1) Be sure to bring enough water with you
2) Start the hike early in the morning so you can be sure to finish before dark.
3) Check the weather forecast, beware of hiking during floods or heat-waves (hamsin).

    An interesting video. The last wild Arabian leopard in Israel was spotted in 2007 in the Negev Desert and died in 2009. Today, fewer than 10 Arabian leopards remain in Israel, and all are in captivity. Very sad. Can't imagine a leopard falling for the trap, though!

    Thanks for your video. Spotting koalas is very difficult. You might have walked directly underneath one and not seen it. If it's any consolation, I've lived in Australia for 70 years and used to do a lot of bushwalking, but I have probably seen fewer than 20 wild koalas in that time. I now live in an area with a small population of koalas and in 10 years I have seen abour 4. They are here, but are very difficult to spot. Have a great trip in Australia!

      Thanks Mike, it's great to hear that you did have a few koala encounters! We stretched our necks long on many of our walks in Queensland, but couldn't find any. Finally we spotted one "almost wild" in Magnetic island, the video will be uploaded soon, so stay tuned!
