Leopard silhouette This picture was taken at dusk in Yala National Park. A well lit portrait was next to impossible with this backlight, so I decided to take this silhouette photo of this magnificent beast.

The Sri Lankan Leopard

The Sri Lankan Leopard is a leopard subspecies native to Sri Lanka. Classified as "Endangered" by IUCN, the population is believed to be declining due to numerous threats including poaching for trade and human-leopard conflicts. This subspecies is colloquially known as Kotiya in Sinhala and Siruththai in Tamil.
