Panthera pardus kotiya
This is the native leopard sub species found in Sri Lanka, one and only apex predator in the island. Solitary hunters living in territories, males have larger territories compared to females, yet the territories could overlap.
Dry Evergreen Forest - Wilpaththu National Park
Threatened by the fragmentation and deforestation. Specially in Wilpaththu National Park (where this female leopard was spotted) unauthorized settlers are logging and constructing road networks throughout the National Park.
