A photo of a Sri Lankan Leopard — not this animal

Aster (Suduwelimulla 3:3 female) was first photographed as a cub around Suduwelimulla in Yala in January 2018, and now lives in the territory her mother handed over to her. In late 2020 she was often seen with the famous male Lucas around Yala Junction and Suduwelimulla; a photographer described watching her court Lucas in September 2020.
