"Malkang", which means "place where the flames are strong" in Tibetan. Malkang City belongs to Sichuan Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, located in the southern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, northwest of the Sichuan Basin, belongs to the plateau canyon area, the terrain gradually decreases from northeast to southwest, and the ground altitude is between 2100 meters and 5300 meters.

Recently, on the way to the countryside to carry out work, the cadres of Ribe Township in Malkang City found a huge wild animal in the territory of Jiabagou in the village of Guri Rigang, which is very similar to a leopard, considering that it may be a wild protected animal, immediately took out his mobile phone to take photos and videos, and immediately reported to the local relevant departments.
Experts from the Sichuan Academy of Forestry observed photos and videos and found that the animal resembled a tiger, but was significantly smaller than a tiger, with yellow hair covered with plum-like markings, a long tail, and markings on it. After careful comparison, it was finally confirmed that it was a national first-class protected wild animal - the golden leopard.
Experts say there have always been records of the existence of golden leopards in Malkang City, but this is the first time that precious video data has been taken. Next, the Malkang Municipal Forestry and Grassland Bureau will cooperate with the relevant units to conduct relevant in-depth investigations and lay the foundation for better protection of the golden leopard.
"The golden leopard, also known as the leopard, leopard, etc., is a large carnivorous animal, distributed from Asia to Africa, its temperament is fierce, smell, visual acuity, agile movements, good at jumping, climbing trees, day and night, has a fixed range of activity, a variety of ungulates, monkeys, rabbits, rodents, birds, fish, sweet berries are their food," the expert continued.
The fragmentation of habitat, the reduction of the prey base and the impact of human hunting and other reasons have led to a gradual decrease in the population of wild golden leopards, in order to protect them, China has listed them as a national level of protected wild animals, prohibiting random hunting, trading, transport, eating, etc. In recent years, with the strengthening of the country's protection of the ecological environment and wild animals and plants, coupled with the improvement of people's awareness of environmental protection, the population and number of golden leopards are gradually recovering, and even frequently appear in people's vision.
