Persian leopards live in mountains and can weigh up to 90 kg
Persian leopards are the largest extant cat in west Asia, sometimes attaining a body mass of 90 kg. They live in rugged mountains, usually not higher than 3000 metres above sea level.

Persecution is the main threat that Persian leopards face in the Middle East, either against themselves or their main prey such as bezoar goat, urial sheep or different deer species. The main reason for direct persecution of leopards is their occasional engagement in conflict with the rural people they live alongside.
