  • 5th October 2024 at 4.45pm one leopard at Kumbuk Wila pitiya. N 08.42108, E 080.01014

    The young leopard had climbed a Palu Tree and was concealed by the branches. I managed to get a few images as the cat changed its position on the branch where the spot pattern of its head could be identified. It was one of the second litter male cubs of Kumbuk Wila Female 2, popularly referred to as Cleopatra. These cubs are are now one year and two months of age. As this is my first sighting of this leopard, I named it Kumbuk Wila Male 3 with the code KWMC 3 for the purpose of my study.
