A rare family of four leopards was captured on camera in northeast China

The video was filmed in Dongning City in Heilongjiang Province on November 7. Three cubs lead the way, with their vigilant mother following closely behind at the Northeast Tiger and Leopard National Park.

It was the first-ever recorded instance of a "family of four leopards" in the area.

The cubs, estimated to be around a year old, appear healthy and robust, as does their mother. Their cautious yet curious nature is evident as they walk, pausing intermittently, ever alert to their surroundings.

近日，在东北虎豹国家公园黑龙江片区，巡护人员在对东宁市朝阳沟林场内的远红外相机维护时，发现相机捕捉到了一只母豹带着三只幼崽在散步的影像。红外相机捕捉的画面显示，地面上白雪皑皑，有一条小溪在流淌，树上结满霜花，一家四口就在溪边悠闲散步，这也是当地首次发现“四豹同框”。
据东北虎豹国家公园管理局工作人员推测，走在前面的是三只幼豹，母亲走在最后。从画面上判断，三只幼豹已满周岁，一家四口身体都十分健康。它们走走停停，非常机警。
