Brutus (Pahalahaenthota 3:3 Male, YM 29) is a male leopard of Yala National Park; “Brutus” is a name used by Yala trackers and the Leopard Trails team. A dominant male whose territory stretches from Katagamuwa Wildlife Sanctuary into the north of Block 1 up to the Warahana bridge, he was nicknamed “Brutus” for his massive size.
