A photo of a Sri Lankan Leopard — not this animal

Maya (Meynert Wewa 4:4 Female, YF 33) is a female leopard of Yala National Park; “Maya” is a name used by Yala trackers and the Leopard Trails team. Part of the famous 2011 Ruk Vila litter, she became well known because the litter was comfortable around people, giving many photo opportunities; today she avoids jeeps.
