Renu is a captive female leopard at Pinnawala Zoo, reported as ten years old in June 2025, selected with the male Kadira for a leopard captive-breeding programme. She was given hormones to trigger ovulation before the procedure. A later report (August 2025) said a female at Pinnawala had been artificially inseminated and was due for a pregnancy scan, without giving the result.
