Makhachkala, December 1, 2015. Eyewitnesses observe West Asian leopard Dagestan. Recently one of the leopards hit the camera lens, climbing the mountain slope near the road. Having examined the snapshot, scientists suggested the appearance of West Asian leopard in Tlyaratinsky district of Dagestan.
Its appearance in this region is quite understandable. The little snow winter of the recent years, abundant food supply and the mass migration of people to the plain allowed the predator to settle in the high-altitude regions of the republic.
It is worth noting that in the past, the residents of the district complained about loss of sheep and calves. However, the appearance of the leopard explains these strange thefts.
