A photo of a Sri Lankan Leopard — not this animal

Jessica (Kudaseelawa 2:2 female, YF 52) was born in late 2019 in Yala with her sister Judy. In 2020 the two sisters were the most prominent leopards in the south of Yala Block 1, often seen around Kudaseelawa, Mahaseelawa, Weli Ara and Jamburagala Road, and several times with the male Julius. A 2022 article describes her as the shy rival of the leopardess Strawberry.
