Leopards of Yala - Female
Mōdharagala 3:3 female was born in late 2017, around Mōdharagala with her siblings. In January 2019, she stole a deer carcass from the Mōdharagala 1:1 female after a small fight, at the nearby Komā Wewa. She disappeared for a few months and in January 2020 (21st of January to be exact), she appeared in Atulla in the Nimalawa Sanctuary.
Mōdharagala 1:1 female is a shy female who has been rarely recorded. She was first photographed in February 2011, on Mōdharagala, mating with the Mōdharagala 3:3 male. In April 2019, she was seen at the Kaluwara Bōkkuwa, lapping up water. That was the last confirmed sighting of this female.
Kudāseelawa 2:3 female was a regular female around Mahaseelawa, Kudāseelawa, Kotigala, and Ūraniya. In June 2015, she was photographed with a very young cub at Kotigala. But the existing photographic evidence is not enough to draw up a family tree. She was last seen in December 2016, at Mahaseelawa.
Katagamuwa 4:4 female was first photographed in the Buffer Zone, close to the Katagamuwa Entrance in September 2017. Then in December 2017, she was seen with the Pahalahenthota 3:3 male around Pahalahenthota and Alikatupalassa. As she is a very shy female, regular sightings were not reported.
