Lasitha Liyana Patabendi, The Fearless (SINGLE SHOT 2023)

This is a male leopard who was not very happy as some other leopards must have crossed its territory. He was coming towards us for about 200m marking the territory in different ways. Finally it made eye contact with my glass for few seconds and I believe it expressed its emotions perfectly.
