A photo of a Sri Lankan Leopard — not this animal

Arthur (Weli Ara 2:2 Male, YM 20) is a male leopard of Yala National Park; “Arthur” is a name used by Yala trackers and the Leopard Trails team. First photographed in December 2017 near the Weli Ara junction, he is easy to recognise by his short tail. In 2018 he took over the territory of the old male Chandare (Jamburagala 4:5), who had gone missing.
