Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Parveen Kaswan took to X to share an incredible video of a Persian leopard family. Since the video was posted, it has gone viral and has left many people intrigued.
"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," wrote IFS Parveen Kaswan on X.
In a follow-up tweet, he informed, "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."
