Dubai’s ministry of environment and water made the seizure at the Aweer quarantine as the consignment did not bear any official documents or health certificates, Abdullah Salem Al Jana’n, executive director at the ministry’s agricultural affairs and livestock department, said.

The ministry will take care of the leopards, he said, adding that the weight of the leopards vary from two to 250 kg.
