Michelle (Modharagala 3:3 Female, YF 34) is a female leopard of Yala National Park; “Michelle” is a name used by Yala trackers and the Leopard Trails team. Born in late 2017 around Modharagala with her siblings, she took a deer carcass from the female Shy after a short fight near Koma Wewa in January 2019. She then vanished for a few months and reappeared at Atulla in Nimalawa Sanctuary on 21 January 2020.
