Guy had just had a fight, probably half hour before. We caught him on the thalgasmankada road at about 7.30am, he moved towards the gonalehabba kalapuwa where I took this sequence. Spent the entire day marking his territory, in the evening we came across him heading towards the Yala crossing, again marking his territory.

The Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis), also known as the Far Eastern Manchurian leopard, is a wild predator native to Korea, Northeast China and the Russian Far East.
This leopard subspecies home is the mountainous areas of the taiga as well as other temperate forests. It is one of the rarest big cats in the world with an estimated 30 to 45 individuals remaining in the wild.
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature has deemed the Amur leopard critically endangered, meaning that it is considered to be facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild.
