The video shows a mother leopard lying on the ground with a watchful eye on her surroundings. Besides, three cubs around four to five months old were chasing each other before curling up together to rest.

Spanning Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces, the Park serves as the primary habitat for wild Siberian tigers and Amur leopards. The newly identified leopards were discovered in the park's northeastern region, which borders Russia.

Over the past year, the region has reported multiple sightings of four leopards together. According to the administration bureau, the four Amur leopards recently belong to a new family.

Thanks to a series of conservation efforts, the Park has seen a significant increase in populations of sika deer, wild boars, and roe deer, key prey for tigers and leopards.
