After sightings of a leopard-like animal by the locals in a town in North Khorasan Province, the provincial Environment Department sent some experts to the area to gather information about the unknown animal.
The search produced photos of a Pallas’ cat (Otocolobus manul) with its four kittens which are rare in Iran’s wildlife.
