Iran Press/Iran news: The head of the public relations office of North Khorasan Department of Environment Hassan Pahlavan said the increase in the number of spotted leopards follows the improved living conditions for the endangered species in the region, Iran Press reported.
The springtime showers across the country have hugely contributed to the increase of prey and the improvement of living conditions for such animals, he added.
Persian leopards are among the most endangered species in the world. Big cats have been listed as "endangered" in the red list of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Iran is one of its main habitats.
