Rare leopards seen in national park

The park head revealed on Friday that two clouded leopards ( Neofelis nebulosa ), an endangered species thought to be a mother-cub pair, had been captured on a trap camera in Kaeng Krachan National Park in Phetchaburi province.

The camera trap, which was set up in early January, was supposed to get a herd of wild bos javanicus, which some villagers had formerly seen, according to Mongkol Chaipukdee, park chief.

According to Mr. Mongkol, the clouded lion and her baby, who were about six to eight months older, were spotted walking past the high-resolution camera and a motion detection device. He called the affair “extremely exciting” and characterized it as “extremely exciting.”

According to him, there are only about 200 clouded leopards left in Thailand, according to estimates of the International Union for Conservation of Nature ( IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.

He claimed that the two lions ‘ presence demonstrated the richness of the national park.

The Wildlife Preservation and Protection Act 2019 protects the endangered species.

Child distorted leopards typically measure 90 to 110 centimeters in length and weigh between 15 and 20 kilos.

The area will continue to use camera traps as part of its ongoing research and analysis of endangered species, especially banteng, a wild bovine species, as part of its ongoing survey and study.

The Unesco World Heritage list includes the 2.9 million ray of jungle in Phetchaburi and Prachuap Khiri Khan, which includes Kaeng Krachan National Park.
