Pair of rare Persian leopards spotted in Balochistan

According to local media, the officials of Balochistan’s wildlife department had first spotted the pair six months ago.

After continuous efforts of several days, the teams again spotted the pair in a rugged mountainous area of Chiltan range and took their pictures, confirmed the Chief Con­ser­vator of Wildlife Depart­ment, Sharifuddin Baloch.
