Sri Lankan Leopard in remote tree, Yala NP, Sri Lanka

Spotting a leopard in Sri Lanka is a big deal that will soon lead to all jeeps in the park lining up. We spotted this one ourselves using binoculars. You need a lot of luck for it, but a way to increase odds is to look for trees like this, that are not too high and have a thick horizontal branch, as well as shade. This tree is easy to climb, comfortable to lay on and take prey on, and cools down the cat.
