A photo of a Sri Lankan Leopard — not this animal

Anna (Welmalkema 4:3 female, YF 31) was a shy, seldom-seen leopardess of the Welmalkema and Gonagala–Jamburagala area of Yala, first photographed in 2011 at Gonagala Ground. She is the mother of the famous leopardess Strawberry, seen with her as a two-month-old cub in May 2017. Anna was found dead near the Uraniya plain in October 2021.
