Pottaya (Eye One) (Jamburagala 3:3 Male, YM 02) is a male leopard of Yala National Park; “Pottaya” is a name used by Yala trackers and the Leopard Trails team. Already in his prime when first seen in 2009, he was missing his left eye, which led to the names “Pottaya” and “Ivan (Eye-One)”. He ruled the southern part of Yala, from the Palatupana entrance and Mahaseelawa to Jamburagala, Heen Wewa and the Magul Maha Viharaya, and as far as Bambawa.
