My Journey with Persian Leopards
NP, NE Iran, following 12 days of efforts, collared and named Kaveh. 52 kg. Kaveh mainly lived along margins of the NP, rarely wandering into the park, perhaps avoiding other large males. But he was a great hunter. He looked playful when encountering humans, watching from ridge-lines. Sometimes he visited villages, but returned without causing any conflict.
He only once killed a dog, belonging to a local shepherd. He never committed dog/sheep depredation as long as collared. On 29 Feb 2016, Kaveh departed Iran, after walking 80km aerial distance, for Turkmenistan. He was stopped by Turkmen border fence, so established home range there.
After 3 years of no data, last week a weak leopard which killed 5 dogs/sheep in border, was captured. It was Kaveh. Kaveh's body was full of injuries, perhaps from battling another animal. Treatment failed, died yesterday at age 7. Inside stomach, a leather obscured duodenum.

Using camera trap surveys to collect data on the wildlife of Afghanistan's central highlands, scientists from the Wildlife Conservation Society have made a surprise discovery: a Persian leopard, thought to have been extirpated from the region.

This was back in December 2011. It's known that there are leopards in the country.

As mentioned here, I discovered something about Eram Zoo in Tehran, from where in 2010 Iran transferred Persian leopards to Russia to repopulate the North Caucasus. The zoo was founded in the 19th century by the Qajari Shah Naser Ad-Din, who had a collection of 3 leopards and a cheetah from Jajrud, besides other animals, judging by this Farsi website of Animal Rights Watch.
