Interesting article from 2017

Even the National Geographic noted this: https://blog.nationalgeographic.org/2017...den-horse/

"I am looking at these two sketches in my notebook, that a Turkmen horse breeder called Murat is drawing infront of me: one is of a large cat with big spots and short legs, the other one is of a sleek cat with a long tale. One is a leopard. I look at the other sketch and for a minute I am thinking he is drawing an Akhal Teke, the descendant of the ancient Turkmen horse, the pride and “wings of the hearts” of the Turkmen people, known as the “fusion of snake, cheetah and eagle”. He presses his finger against it and says “ghepard”, which means cheetah in Russian, and adds “I saw it one late afternoon not far from Kopet Dag mountains, west of them…two years ago”." Reply
