They used to occupy the whole of Turkey, as well as Middle Eastern Nations, like the whole of Syria and Irak.

Today he is in the situation of #Endangered due to poaching, habitat and prey loss, as well as animal trafficing.

This large #feline hunts boars, deers, brids and other small animals and competes with wolves, lynxes and bears. They used to compete with the extinct Caspian Tiger and the Asiatic Lion for prey in their former distribution range.

Today, this Leopard is on a slow recovery. But only time will tell about his fate.

#wishing everyone a #happy #caturday
