2010  World Journal of Zoology (5): 122-124

The Persian leopard is said to be one of the largest of all the subspecies of leopards in the world. The Persian Leopard's main prey in Iran is Bezoar goat and wild sheep. A young female leopard 2-3 years was shot accidentally by villagers in Ahovan County around of Damghan city. We examined the digestive tract for endoparasites by screening (Mesh 70). We obtained five _Ancylostoma tubaeforme_, three _Toxocara cati_ and one _taenia taeniaeformis_.
