Gayan Chandanayake's Contributions

Observation:

She was first spotted standing still on the road, alert and observant. After a brief pause, she began moving slowly along the roadside, eventually disappearing into the dense forest cover. A few minutes later, she reemerged, this time more curious than cautious—calmly scanning the parked vehicles and onlookers. She showed no signs of fear or shyness.

Observation:

She was resting on a termite mound inside the forest.

Observation:

This was the 1st sighting of KLF38. Found together with KLM2 on a Palu tree closer to the Bagura bridge. KLF38 was trying to mate while up in the tree, but KLM2 was not interested. Once the vehicles gathered up, they got down the tree and moved to the thick forest. KLF38 looked to be a fully grown leopard.

Observation:

KLF29 was seen with two small cubs (possibly about 3-4 months old). They were resting on the ground closer to the road and slowly moved away after a few minutes. Observed with two cubs

Observation:

KLM38 and his sibling was seen for the 1st time with mother KLF29 (possibly about 3-4 months old at this time). They were resting on the ground closer to the road and slowly moved away after a few minutes. Observed together with KLF29 and another cub

Observation:

Found her resting on a fallen tree branch. No signs of the cub.
