    A warm welcome to JungleDragon, Randika!

    Awesome that you got so close to this leopard. If you're interested, here's a nice tag covering more from the same park:

      Thanks @fchristant - Yeah we got so close and spent few hours with this guy. Locals call him "Natta". Posted 7 years ago, modified 7 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.
