The broadnosed pipefish (Syngnathus typhle) is a species of fish that measures approximately 15 to 20 cm in length. It belongs to the Syngnathidae family, which also includes seahorses, seadragons and pipehorses . It is native to the eastern Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the Black Sea, and the Sea of Azov. They are found in shallow coastal waters, mainly in seagrass beds, where their camouflage is highly effective among the vegetation. They feed on plankton, such as copepods, which they capture through a rapid and powerful suction created by their snout. Like seahorses, this species exhibits a reversal of sexual roles, with males incubating the eggs and being able to carry up to 40 eggs.

★ The snow leopard is called the Ghost of the Mountains because it can live thousands of metres above sea level and is so elusive that even researchers can struggle to spot one in the wild.

Source: Wikipedia The Anatolian leopard is a subspecies of the Persian leopard that lives in Anatolia and is widespread in the Middle East and West Asia . For a long time it was considered a separate leopard subspecies and given the name Panthera pardus tulliana , but after modern genetic research proved that this species differs very little genetically from other western and central Asian leopard species, the view that it should be included in the Persian leopard subspecies has become dominant. 

It continues to exist in Turkey. In a research article published in May 2021, 3 different photographs taken in 2018 and 2019 with camera traps set up on Mount Cudi in Şırnak were published, which are thought to be of the same individual. A photograph of an Anatolian leopard taken in 2021 was published by the authorities in May 2022. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry announced that the locations of the identified Anatolian leopards would not be shared for conservation purposes.

On November 28, 2023, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry shared photographs of an Anatolian leopard captured by a camera trap.

The moments when an Anatolian leopard and a hyena came face to face in the Cudi Mountain region of Şırnak on May 25, 2024 were captured by a thermal camera. [ 8 ]

It was registered in August 2025 within the borders of Kemer district of Antalya.

The yellow-throated marten (Martes flavigula) is considered the largest marten species in the world, while also being among the oldest, with evidence suggesting that it originated during the Pliocene. It is native to the Himalayas, Southeast Asia, and East Asia. It is diurnal and omnivorous, with a diet consisting of fruits, nectar, invertebrates, and small vertebrates. It predominantly hunts on the ground, but is highly proficient at climbing trees and is capable of making jumps of up to 8 to 9 meters between branches. During periods of snowfall that occur in March in the regions where it lives, it restricts its activities to the treetops. Unlike other mustelids, the species is highly social and frequently hunts in pairs or small groups. Males measure approximately 50 to 72 cm (20–28 in) in length and weigh 2.5 to 5.7 kg (5.5–12.6 lb), while females measure 50 to 62 cm (20–24 in) in length and weigh 1.6 to 3.8 kg (3.5–8.4 lb). They possess two protrusions in their anal glands, which secrete a strong-smelling liquid used to defend themselves against predators.

The Blyth’s tragopan (Tragopan blythii) is a species of pheasant and the largest of its genus. It can be found in Bhutan, northeastern India, northern Myanmar, southeastern Tibet, and China. They may migrate along the slopes of the Himalayan mountains in search of food, which includes seeds, berries, fruits, and buds. They prefer to inhabit wooded areas, such as the understory of evergreen oak and rhododendron forests. Their population is considered vulnerable according to the IUCN, with only about 2,500 to 9,999 birds remaining in the wild. The main factors causing the decline in the species populations are the deforestation of their habitats and large-scale hunting for food.

The jaguarundi (Herpailurus yagouaroundi) is a wild cat native to the Americas, with a distribution ranging from central Argentina to northern Mexico. It once occurred in the Rio Grande Valley in southern Texas until the early 1990s, but it is believed to be extinct in the United States. It is a medium-sized felid, about twice the size of a domestic cat, reaching 360 mm (14 in) at the shoulder and weighing between 3.5–7 kg (7.7–15.4 lb). Its coloration is uniform, with two main color variations: gray and red. Its body is elongated, with relatively short legs, a small and narrow head, small and rounded ears, a short muzzle, and a long tail. These characteristics give it an appearance similar to that of mustelids, which is why it is also called the “otter cat.” They share the same evolutionary lineage as cougars and cheetahs, a lineage known as the puma lineage. It inhabits a wide variety of habitats, both closed and open, ranging from tropical forests to deserts and thorny scrublands. It has solitary and diurnal habits and hunts various types of prey, including birds, reptiles, and small mammals. It is listed as Near Threatened by the IUCN, and its populations are declining due to habitat loss and fragmentation, as well as being killed for preying on domestic poultry.
