The Anatolian leopard, which was believed to be extinct in Turkey since 1974, has been seen again, beginning in 2021.
Despite having the broadest distribution and dietary range of the 36 cat species, the leopard is listed as endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) red list.
In Turkey, the Anatolian leopard was assumed to be extinct due to large-scale poaching, by 1974.
However, a campaign was launched to protect and save whatever leopards might still be in the country. It appears the leopards are trickling back in, to prey, undoubtably, on lonely villages, stray children, and wildlife biologists distracted by their cameras.

I remember vacuum tube TV, and pulling tubes from the back and taking them down to the local Thrifty store to test. The world has changed. Still have a few old vacuum tubes. Wonder if they're worth anything?
Maybe a cold winter?
Snow extent in the Northern Hemisphere at the end of November represents an important parameter for the early winter forecast. This year snow extent is running much higher than average and according to existing global estimates, it is now beyond the highest ever observed so far. Winter forecast, especially in its early phase and in Europe, might be strongly influenced by such a large snow extent, although many other factors need attention.
The Weekly Northern Hemisphere snow cover extent for the winter season 2022-2023 in purple is plotted together with the mean (grey dashed line), maximum (blue), and minimum (orange) snow cover extent for each week. Mean weekly snow cover extent and extremes were calculated using the 56-year period from October 1966 to July 2022.
