A Rare Glimpse of a Persian Leopard Hunting

by pourmir October 15, 2023
written by pourmir 1 minutes read

We are thrilled to share with you this amazing picture captured by one of our camera traps in the Touran Biosphere Reserve. This is the first time we have ever seen a Persian leopard attempt to hunt Persian Onagers in front of our cameras. Although she was unsuccessful in her attempt, this stunning shot is very valuable for us as it reveals some of the secrets of this elusive and endangered big cat.

The Persian leopard is the largest of the leopard subspecies. It can weigh up to 90 kg (198 lbs) and measure up to 191 cm (6 ft) in length, not including the tail.

The Persian leopard is native to Western and Central Asia, ranging from Turkey to Pakistan. It lives in remote mountainous regions, from dry and arid areas to dense forests and snowy peaks. It prefers rocky slopes, mountain steppes, and sparse juniper forests, where it can find shelter and ambush its prey.

Persian Leopard Hunting Persian Onager

The Persian leopard faces many threats to its survival, such as habitat loss and fragmentation, poaching, human-wildlife conflict, and prey depletion. Since 2016, it has been listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, as the wild population is estimated at less than 1000 mature individuals. Conservation efforts are underway to protect its habitat, reduce poaching and conflict, monitor its population, and raise awareness about its importance for the ecosystem.

ICS study confirms transboundary leopard movements between Azerbaijan and Iran in the Caucasus

by June 20, 2018
written by 1 minutes read

Together with researchers from WWF, Iran Department of Environment and the Humboldt University of Berlin, ICS researchers have published the first confirmed evidence of transboundary leopard movements between Azerbaijan and Iran in the Caucasus Ecoregion.

1

It has been speculated for a long time that Persian leopards in Azerbaijan and Armenia might be connected with leopard populations in the Iranian Caucasus, or even depend on these populations as a source for dispersing individuals. However, no confirmed evidence of leopard movements between Iran and either of these two countries had been documented. Comparing photos of a Persian leopard poached in Gilan Province of Iran with camera-trap photographs obtained 30 km away (straight-line distance) from Hirkan National Park in Azerbaijan allowed our researchers to identify this leopard. This incident supports a previous ICS study that predicted the Talysh Mountains to be a critical linkage for connecting the border landscape between Iran, Azerbaijan, and Armenia to the presumed source leopard population in the Alborz Mountains in Northern Iran.
ICS’ research on Persian leopards in the Iranian Caucasus is generously supported by World Land Trust (WLT) and Iran Department of Environment.
