Slight nitpick, but aren't Leopards in Turkey and Pakistan designated as different subspecies?

No. Anatolian leopard is like Korean tiger, speculated to be possible subspecies but never proven.

And western parts of Pakistan along Iran & Afghanistan has Persian leopards, while the northern parts along Himalayas has Indian leopard. Reply
