In Primorye, they are trying to help an exhausted leopard that people noticed along the highway near Ussuriysk, far from its usual habitat in the Land of the Leopard National Park, DEITA.RU reports.
The rare predator had been seen in the area for three months, and the reserve and Department of Natural Resources experts who were monitoring the animal assessed its condition as satisfactory. They even installed camera traps to monitor it, and the footage did not cause concern. But the final exit of the leopard under study surprised everyone. The predator is exhausted, its fur is matted and faded, it barely reacts to people, which is not healthy behavior.
The Ministry of Natural Resources of Primorsky Krai has raised the issue of removing emaciated Far Eastern leopards from their natural habitat. Your veterinarian will examine it and try to find and treat the cause of your rare cat's poor condition. If the results are good, the leopard will return to the wild, but if it completely loses its hunting abilities, it will live in captivity.
In Ussuriysk, they are trying to catch and treat an exhausted leopard, but everything is fine with the predator in the national park.

Gerda is currently caring for three teenage kittens. Camera traps captured the "heroine mother" with her growing son.
