Description
This leopard is found only in Sri Lanka, and is the country's top predator. As such it is a wonderful place to see this Cat as it has no other predator to worry about, and has managed to adapt to living in relative close proximity to humanity.
Very little has been known about it in the past, but ongoing studies (The Leopard project- The Wilderness and Wildlife Conservation Trust, www.wwct.org) indicate that they are still distributed throughout the island both within and outside protected areas.
Dry ever green monsoon forest, arid zone scrub jungle, low and upper mountain forest, rain forest and wet zone intermediate forests are some of the habitats currently inhabited by these leopards. Years of Cival unrest has hampered the conservation projects.
Taken at Burgers Zoo Arnhem yesterday with Ilona Ger and Oskar with his family and friend Mieka
