Sri Lankan Leopard

[CharithaJB]

Sri Lanka has the biggest leopards in the world. This is because unlike in other countries where there are leopards, in Sri Lanka they are the apex predators without any competition for food from much larger cats like tigers in India and Lions in Africa. Here Leopard is the king. Leopards can be spotted in the Yala National Park, Wilpattu National Park, Kumana National Park and rarely in the Horton Plains National Park. The most easily accessible is Yala. However, this ease of access from Colombo has made it more crowded than Wilpattu the second best park to spot leopards in the wild. Weekdays are the best days to visit any park in Sri Lanka when it is less crowded. The best times to spot leopards is early in the morning before the sun gets hot or late in the evening. Leopards rarely comes out of the forest to hunt during midday because it gets too hot and they get tired quickly.

Hello @CharithaJB

Thank you for your perfect photo!!

It is a mistery for me -how do you manage to take such wonderful photos of animals at close distance.

Your photos are amazing!

Recently,2days ago I visited International Wild Nature Festival -"Golden Turtle",where photographers from 16 countries  represent their photo of wild nature and animals.

I remember about you,because your works are as perfect as their works.

Hi INGA1 🙂

Thanks again for having a look. To take this picture I used a Sony H-100 though an old model is a bridge cam with an awesome 21X (27-567mm) zoom. I don't use hi end cameras simply because those are expensive and I cannot afford:)  Now I use a Nikon 5200 and a Nikon 55-300 zoom lens which again is an older model I bought cheap. 🙂
