“What’s on my nose”

leopard Hans at Yala National Park

“A leopard does not change his spots, or change his feeling that spots are rather a credit.”
– Ivy Compton-Burnett

The leopard’s spot, called rosettes, is quite a thing of beauty. The spotting and pattern are unique to each animal like a fingerprint. The black panther is a melanistic leopard, it has rosettes but its dark fur makes it impossible to see the rosettes without being extremely close to the leopard.

“Jenny” the female leopard was the talk of the day on the 6th of Feb. She was spotted during the first half of the day while eating its fresh kill a dead calf near “Sajith gaha”. We couldn’t get a good sighting because of the massive gathering and jenny left the tree. After a while, someone has spotted her with two cubs roaming around in the same area. Finally, we were lucky to spot the same scene at 2:30 PM.
