Shahram Amiri Sharifi told Mehr News that a number of animal lovers had volunteered to participate on a search for two cubs of a leopard killed in an automobile accident in Sefidkooh protected area near Khorramabad. �So far, 11 people have volunteered for searching the Zagros heights for two cubs,� he added.

�Examination of the leopard by the environmental protector workers indicated that the leopard was in gestation and that she would have two cubs, and given that the leopard was killed within 24 hours, her cubs would be still alive,� he explained. �The cubs would not be in gestation, but hunger could lure them out of their safe retreat and expose them to dangers such as strayed dogs, chuckles, and wolves,� Sharifi said.
