Superman (Gonagala 2:2 Male) is a male leopard of Yala National Park; “Superman” is a name used by Yala trackers and the Leopard Trails team. Named “Superman” by the team for an S-shaped mark on his forehead, he was very bold and often ventured into open areas. He was first seen in January 2014 at about six months old with a sibling.
