The big cats come to town

As was promised during the Olympic bid, Russia is trying to reintroduce Persian leopards in Sochi national park — the area they inhabited long time ago. The program is being supported by WWF-Russia, private companies and a number of Russian government agencies. You can read the details in WWW article and in press release on olympic.org.

I’ve heard we have bears, and wolfs in our forests… imagine meeting one of these kitties there 🙂
