| New records of Persian leopard in Bashagard area, southeastern Iran | |
| 2012 Cat News (56): 32-33 | |
During a carnivore survey carried out from 2009 to 2010 in the Bashagard area, southeastern Iran, new records of the endangered Persian leopard_ Panthera pardus saxicolor_ were obtained. These records include: one carcass of a young female leopard (Fig. 2), first camera-trap photos of leopards in Hormozgan Province (Fig. 1), and some tracks and scrapes. The results show that despite the harsh environment and scarcity of prey, Persian leopards still survive in one of the most remote areas of Iran. |
