Emma (Warahana 2:2 Female 2, YF 19) is a female leopard of Yala National Park; “Emma” is a name used by Yala trackers and the Leopard Trails team. One of the 2013/14 Warahana cubs, she later expanded her territory from Warahana towards New Road and Korawak Wewa. She gave birth to a male cub in late 2017, was seen with two cubs of a second litter in December 2019, and her third known litter (2021) produced Elsa and Erica.
