Natta (“Pannikarvillu Male 1”) is a male leopard of Wilpattu National Park, also called Prince; his most popular name, “Natta”, means “tail” and refers to an injury. Thought to have been born near the Kombansanchi Poval water hole, he ranges mainly from Kurutu Pandi Villu to Kokkari but often enters other males’ territories and roams widely across the centre of the park. He is not shy, often walks up to safari jeeps, and was described as at one point probably the most photographed leopard in the world.
