Camera traps have captured a leopard in Arevik National Park in Syunik province on May 13. As Zangezur biosphere SNCO reported on its Facebook page, the new image was obtained from the cameras installed in the park.

The Caucasian or Persian leopard (Panthera pardus saxicolor), is one of the most endangered species living in the Caucasus. This leopard subspecies can be found in the South Caucasus countries, Turkey, Iran, Turkmenistan and Afghanistan. Some experts estimate there are less than 1300 leopards left in wild.
