Observation:

She was stalking a herd of deer. She looked to be limping slightly. Wasn't cared our presence and continued her walk.

Observation:

Andha, Khema, and Jaya were first seen moving together in unusually close proximity. The trio later settled, and during this period both males, Andha and Jaya, were observed taking turns mating with Khema. Andha being the dominant male, did not show any aggression towards Jaya. This is interestingly an unusual sighting as Khema is Jaya's mother and its an event where mating took place between the mother and son (1st recorded inbreeding incident at Kumana).

He was resting by the road. At the same time, KLM34 Jaya was seen a few hundred meters away from him about an hour before.
