A photo of a Sri Lankan Leopard — not this animal

Becky (Neela) (Neela 3:2 Female) is a female leopard of Yala National Park; “Becky” is a name used by Yala trackers and the Leopard Trails team. First photographed in November 2013 at Mahaseelawa Wewa, she had a cataract that made her left eye look blue, which gave her the name “Neela” (Sinhala for blue). She was last seen at the end of 2014.
