Eye One, also called “Ivan”, is a legendary leopardess of Wilpattu National Park, named for the blue haze over her right eye. She was first sighted with her brother in 2010, and a writer described meeting her at Eriyakkulam Villu in April 2012, when she looked in prime condition and there were reports she had given birth to cubs.
