For the first time in 100 years, a cub of the Amur goral has been spotted in the Primorsky Territory in the Land of the Leopard National Park, RIA Novosti reports.

"Scientists personally met the rarest ungulates of southwestern Primorye - a group of gorals with a goat, which for the first time in the last 100 years confirmed the theory of the presence in the area of ​​a stable breeding group of these Red Book animals," the press service of the national park explained.

In 2017, scientists discovered a pair of breeding gorals in the park, the existence of which was previously only speculation. At the same time, a new edition of the Red Book was released in Russia, which also included the Amur gorals. However, the animals have begun breeding in the wild.

“I met a group of four gorals, one of them is a cub. Some of them were captured from a distance on a smartphone camera. This place, the so-called Deer Rock, occupies a lot of territory in the northern part of the national park, so it can be stated that there is at least one stable group of the Amur goral here. Now we know for certain that these animals breed on the "Land of the Leopard," said Timofey Petrov, an employee of the science department at the Land of the Leopard.

Earlier in Russia, the Red Book leopard attacked livestock.
