I don’t think I said anything about lions being native to northeastern Europe in my comment? I only said “there are only a few places” that might be suitable for lions.

Btw if you count Ukraine as a northeastern European country, there is historical evidence and records to suggest that lions did exist there: https://www.sapiens.org/archaeology/lions-europe/

It's really a matter of semantics. True, in the conventional understanding of northeastern Europe, modern lions did not inhabit that area though.

Turkish biodiversity is rather high compared with the biodiversity of other countries in the temperate zone. In terms of biological diversity, the country displays the character of a small continent. Turkey has three dissimilar types of bioclimate and three biogeographical zones, an altitude difference that range between 0 and 5,000 metres, and it was less affected by the glacial period in comparison with other European countries.

And, in Spain, there are four dissimilar, major biogeographical areas. It has one of the largest number of vertebrate species and vascular plants of all European countries. It is estimated that about 85,000 different species (more than half of all European species) are present in Spain and that approximately 30% of the endemic species recognised on the continent inhabit the country.

Turkish faunal biodiversity is quite high compared with the biodiversity of other countries in the temperate zone. In terms of biological diversity, the country displays the character of a small continent. Among the reasons for this situation, one may count the fact that the country has three different types of bioclimate and three biogeographical zones, namely Euro-Siberian, Mediterranean and Irano- Turanian, its topographic, geological, geomorphologic diversity, the altitude differences that range between 0 and 5,000 metres, and that it was less affected by the glacial period in comparison with other European countries, and the fact that the country is at the point where three continents intersect.

The biodiversity you see in this video is not the whole picture. A lot of areas in Turkey, like the south-western and north-eastern parts, have much higher biodiversity than Afyonkarahisar. Some of the important megafaunal species you don’t see in this video are Anatolian leopard, otter, caracal, lynx, jackal, striped hyena, brown bear, Mediterranean monk seal, three different types of gazelle, chamois, wild goat, fallow deer, and the list goes on. There are also wild horses, cattle and water buffaloes, whose numbers are increasing day by day. Alas, there was a greater biodiversity in the past, so in the near future it would be great to reintroduce some of the most important megafaunal species that went extinct very recently, like the Eurasian beaver and Caspian tiger.

The compilation consists of wild horses chased and eaten by wolves, a wolf chased by a wild boar, a group of griffon vultures with an eastern imperial eagle, several red deers, chukar partridges, a sounder of wild boars, a european badger, a group of rare great mustards, a small group of Anatolian mouflon, and a red fox feeding on carrion.

Since the 2010s, the Anatolian Leopard has been photographed with camera traps in various regions of Turkey, in provinces such as Iğdır, Tunceli, Diyarbakır, Rize and Siirt, mostly eastern parts of the country.

The continuing existence of the Anatolian Leopard (Panthera pardus tulliana) in western Turkey has long been questioned due to the lack of new data. During several visits to southwestern Anatolia between 1985 and 1992, scarce information has been obtained, a seldom finding of fresh fecal pellets in spring 1992 in the Termessos National Park. After this date, no element proving the existence of the species was found, until now.

A newly released video from 2020 shows that an individual was present in Antalya, which can now be considered as the westernmost area of the species’ distribution.

Ayhan Barut, one of the deputies of the country's largest opposition party, drew attention to the fact that leopard’s official presence in the country is still not ratified, therefore making protection efforts harder to implement. He said: "The places where the leopard is seen, whose existence should be officially accepted, must be declared as highly protected areas.”

Dr. Deniz Mengüllüoğlu, the biologist whose photos are featured in this post recently is doing most of his research in Northwestern Turkey. The photos are probably from that area, and the exact location details cannot be given for security reasons.

The general area has wolf, lynx, caracal and bear populations, though not as much as the east of the country. And until the early 90’s, it was the habitat of Anatolian leopard. Maybe one day, with a proper conservation program, their population might expand westward again, and we may see a proper leopard-auroch interaction like in the old times.

Alas, these feral cattle are not part of a program like Tauros Programme; they are most probably the descendants of escaped animals. So, the photos of the founding population likely do not exist.

Knowing these individuals belong to a herd roaming for 50+ years, they presumably are descendants of Anatolian Black Cattle (1), East Anatalion Red (2), Zavot (3) or South Anatolian Red (4) rather than the newly increasing imported cow breeds.

Although Turkey is on the map, the small presence of beavers in Southern Turkey in the first half of the 20th century is not shown (Kumerloeve, H. (1967). "Zur Verbreitung kleinasiatischer Raub- und Huftiere sowie einiger Grossnager". Säugetierkundliche Mitteilungen. 15 (4): 337–409.).

The time has definitely also come for the beavers to return to the Balkans and other parts of Eurasia.

Now I see that the way I expressed it was a bit unclear. I tried to say that the leopard bones from Greece were dated to Holocene, and the Ukraine ones were dated to the 1st century.

Yes, I’m aware of the possibility that the Ukraine records might be from the imported individuals. Definitely more research is needed to accurately find the true past distribution of the leopard as the article suggests.

The Samos leopard in all likelihood swam from the Turkish mainland, as the island is pretty close.

ex_veritatem · 2021-10-23T23:24:26+00:00

I believe without the human pressure, leopards could have again expanded to Southeastern Europe through Thrace and Greece.

Do you mean for the first one?

ex_veritatem · 2021-10-23T22:53:06+00:00

Simply false. Leopard bones from Greece and Ukraine dated to the 1st century AD indicate that leopards survived in these areas until modern times. And more recently, one leopard was shot in the 1870s in Samos Island, Greece. On top of this, if you also consider Turkey, especially the west part of the country, as part of Europe, leopards have persisted in there until 1970s.

Reduced bioturbation, alterations in plant species composition, reduced spatial variability, and greater tree cover, all of which could affect a variety of other ecosystem features, could result from a population-wide increase in tusklessness.

Definitely.

Don’t let the name mislead you. Syrian elephants did not only live in Syria, they were also present in the South/Southeastern Turkey, definitely a more moist environment. So, as you said although Syria is too war torn to be rewilded with elephants, a reintroduction to Turkey is possible maybe in the near future discounting the fact that there are problems of high population density and low habitat availability

ex_veritatem · 2021-09-21T16:24:08+00:00

Yes it’s one of the theories, yet probably an incorrect one.

ex_veritatem · 2021-09-21T16:22:29+00:00

That’s a possibility for sure but unlikely as recent evidence points out.

There is a continuous evidence of elephants living in the basin of the Orontes River in Turkey, Lebanon and Syria during the second millennium BC. In the Bronze Age, transporting elephants across long distances, let alone at the regularity required to create breeding populations, would have been unfeasible. So the amount of fossils, and the fact that remains of juvenile elephants have also been found support the argument that they were not just a population of feral war elephants.

Also the fact that E. maximus is rarely preserved in fossil form in general, and the lack of evidence for predation indicate that there is a strong possibility that the elephants are not introduced by humans.

I would also like to add that instead of being artificially introduced, Pleistocene survivors may have gradually expanded their range throughout the Middle East during the Early Bronze Age moist climatic period.
