Dark Eye (Gerimas Pokuna 2:2 Female, YF 37) is a female leopard of Yala National Park; “Dark Eye” is a name used by Yala trackers and the Leopard Trails team. One of the most easily recognised leopards in the park, she has heterochromia: one eye is cream-coloured like an owl’s and the other honey-coloured. She was first recorded in 2016 around Gerimas Pokuna in the north of Yala Block 1.
