The last official sighting of the Anatolian Leopard was in 1974. That animal was killed after an attack to a woman in Bagozu village, 5 km. from Beypazari. Although some scientists have suggested that the species has since become extinct, others have suggested that there are still between 10-15 Anatolian Leopards in the wilds of Anatolia, Turkey. In 2001, the animal had allegedly been spotted around the Dandi region in the eastern Mediterranean, and around Musikli Brook in the eastern Black Sea. Another sighting of the animal in Pokut Plateau, on the eastern Black Sea, was reported in 2004.
