Three Persian leopards spotted in Iran's Salook National Park

Bojnurd, IRNA – An official at the Department of Environment Protection in Iran's North Khorasan province says that one Persian leopard and two leopard cubs have been spotted in Salook National Park in the eastern Iranian province.

Mohammad Taghdisi told IRNA on Sunday that the three leopards spotted in Salook National Park would increase the leopards seen in the protected area to six based on a previous tally of the wildlife in the Park. 

Salouk National Park is a protected area located to the northwest of the city of Esfarayen in North Khorasan province. It is home to a variety of plant and animal species.

This protected area is divided into two mountainous and lowland landscapes with elevation difference between the highest and lowest point reaching 1,510 meters, creating preferable conditions for rare animal species. 

More than 100 animal species have been identified in Salouk National Park, according to official government figures.
