Göytəpə (also, Goytepe, Göytäpä, Prišib, Prishib, Prishibinsk,[2] Prishibinskoe, and Prishibinskoye) — is a city and the most populous municipality, except for the capital Cəlilabad, in the Jalilabad Rayon of Azerbaijan. It has a population of 15,500. Renamed in 1992, 'Göytəpə' in Azeri means "Blue Hill."
The Caspian tiger used to be found in the Caucasus, before the end of the 20th century. In particular, an 'immense' tiger was killed in Prishibinsk, as Heptner and Sludskii (1972) called it, in 1899.[2]
