Chello (River Valley 3:4 Male, YM 76) is a male leopard of Yala National Park; “Chello” is a name used by Yala trackers and the Leopard Trails team. Born in 2023, his mother is the leopardess Cherry (River Valley 2:1 female). In July 2024, while he was nearby, his mother was seen mating with the dominant Lolugas Wala male at Kotabendi Wewa.
