Hamu (Andhun Oruwa 3:3 male, YM 01) was called the undisputed king of Yala; his nickname means leader or chief in Sinhala. He held a large territory, was seen with many females, and at about 14 years old was still holding his territory, with a figure-8 mark on his forehead. He was last seen in June 2017 near Gonalahaba Ground, and safari operator Leopard Trails uses him as its mascot.
