A video of a Persian leopard family, one of the most endangered big cats in the world, has surfaced on the internet. Since being shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Parveen Kaswan, who is an avid social media user, on the microbloggign site X, formerly Twitter, has gone viral.
"When a Persian Leopard family decided to make a home in front of a trap camera. The best thing you will watch. Credits to @NarynTR for raising awareness about them," reads the caption of the video shared by Kaswan.
"Panthera pardus tulliana, also known as Persian leopards, are currently endangered species. There are less than a thousand adults on the planet. Such camera trap documentation helps in understanding & monitoring species in a better way. We have dozens of such documentation from our own reserve. For example below Indian leopard was radio-collared. It is being tracked for movement etc. captured by a camera trap. Use of technology for conservation," wrote Kaswan in a follow up Tweet.
Captured by the help of a trap camera, set up by Naryn T Rosen, a conservationist from Turkmenistan, the clip shows a Persian leopard family of four resting and spending time with each other in the mountains. One is also able to hear the adorable voices of the leopard cubs.
Since being shared, the clip has amassed over 72,000 views and several comments.
