First Sighting
19th November 2017 at 1.34pm
19th November 2017 at 1.34pm one Leopard between Tala Wila and Kombansanchaipooval sand patch. N 08.38546, E 079.94999
The leopard was by the side of the road and swiftly moved in to the forest. It was a female cub and I estimated its age to be around one year. As it moved in to the forest I managed to get a few images adequate enough to identify the animal. Later upon examination of the images I was able to identify it as the Kombansanchaipooval Leopard 2 listed under ‘Leopards of Wilpattu – Guest sectionâ€. I named it Kombansanchaipooval Female 2 ( KSPFC 2). (with guide Tissa Ratnayake)
