Observation:

We caught her by surprise and took a few seconds to decide what to do. She sat in the same spot for a minute (or less) and went inside the bushes. We continued our drive for a few more meters. And turned and returned to the same spot but no sign. Then a few meters (10-15 meters) from the first spot but towards Beraliyawala Junction, we spotted her through the bushes (16:50)

She was resting on the left side. After 2/3 minutes, she stood up and walked toward the road, crossed the road, and headed towards the bushes on the right-hand side.

Both KLF20 & KLF21 was found on the road. They were walking around the place.

She was resting on one of the branches facing the main road. Around 07:23, she climbed down from that tree and started walking towards Diwulpallama Road through the open valley for about another 5-6 more minutes while making a few stops. We followed her by taking the south entrance of Diwulpallama Road. After around 150-200 meters from the road entry, around 7:30, she crossed the road and walked into the bushes.

He was on the left side of the road and was sniffing for possible scents and then marked his territory as well. After a few minutes, he crossed the road and walked towards the bushes
