Before anyone asks, there does seem to be a small population of leopards in European Russia, in and around Ossetia and Chechnya. This was enough to include them. The same region is also the sole European stronghold of the wild goat, and both species of caucasian tur. There is a population of saiga antelope in European Russia near Astrakhan.

I am aware that most of the pictures shared with the North American megafauna quiz were taken in North America, but even if the subspecies are different, they constitute the same species and should still be useful.

Finally, I did not add the Mouflon, despite meeting all other criteria, as they appear to be descended from domestic sheep populations that went wild.
