Hunter (Kosgasmankada 2:3 Male, YM 12) is a male leopard of Yala National Park; “Hunter” is a name used by Yala trackers and the Leopard Trails team. First sighted around Modharagala in November 2016, he was pushed out by larger males to the south-east of the park, where he took part of the old Hamu’s territory. In July 2017 he was seen mating with Amber, and he made buffalo-calf kills at Gonalahaba Ground (January 2018) and Yala Wewa (April 2018); there were no confirmed sightings after the first half of 2018.
