bigcatwildcat:Pure Nature Specials - Wild IranThe Asiatic cheetah once had a distribution that extended across the Middle East, Central Asia, north into southern Kazakhstan and southeast into India. Today, the cheetah has been extirpated from its entire Asiatic range, except for a small and critically endangered population in the Islamic Republic of Iran.Estimated at 200 animals in the 1970’s, there are now thought to be only 70-110 Asiatic cheetahs left in the wild, all occupying the arid, central plateau of Iran.Major Threats facing the Asiatic Cheetah include: - Overhunting of cheetah prey- Habitat degradation - Direct poachingFor more info, please go here | source. -- source link
