Cameras snap leopards in forest park
Print Edition
Infrared cameras in a nature reserve in northwest China鈥檚 Gansu Province captured nearly 30 images of leopards from January to the end of April.
Researchers from Longdong University recently collected videos and photos caught by 30 infrared cameras they set up at the Ziwuling nature reserve.
鈥淏ased on the size, hair color and patterns of leopards in these images, we conclude that there are about 10 leopards roaming in an area of 120 kilometers in the reserve,鈥 said Zhou Tianlin, head of Longdong University鈥檚 college of life science and technology.
Two adult leopards were caught walking together, which is quite rare as the big cat usually walks alone, he added.
Leopards are under China鈥檚 highest national-level protection and are listed as vulnerable on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species.
