  He "Natta" came pretty close this time. We stayed there for two nights and saw this guy thrice. Apparently he had killed a wild bow and was still enjoying it for a couple of days.
  Thanks for sharing your's. I'll post more pics of the trip shortly. Posted 10 years ago

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.
