A 2011 IUCN regional review of the carnivorous mammals of the Arabian Peninsula, in its appendix on Panthera leo persica, found no confirmed recent record of this species in the peninsula. It cited Neolithic rock engravings in Saudi Arabia and Oman and a tenth-century report of Panthera leo on the Tihama coastal plain of Yemen, while noting a view that the mammals of Yemen do not include this species. The IUCN Cat Specialist Group places the Arabian Peninsula within the former range of the subspecies Panthera leo leo.
