Steve (Kaluwara Bokkuwa 2:3 Male, YM 43) is a male leopard of Yala National Park; “Steve” is a name used by Yala trackers and the Leopard Trails team. Born in late 2017 with a sister, he was more outgoing than her. By mid-2019 he and his mother had moved to the south of Block 1, and in 2020 he explored a large area including Uraniya, Welmalkema and Kotigala, where he was seen several times with Strawberry.
