Hyrcanian forests are home to a variety of animal species. From brown bears to wild boars and leopards, each has a role to play in this ecosystem. But dealing with them requires awareness.
Brown bear
This animal usually avoids humans. If you see a bear, move slowly and never run away.
Boar
Boars live in family groups. If you see a female boar with her cubs, change your path.
Leopard
The Persian leopard is very rare. But if you encounter one, stand tall and shout loudly.
