"Baba Kotiya" (Baba Leopard) makes a move towards the watering hole. This two-year-old Leopard was in the depths of Yala National Park, Sri Lanka. To see Leopard is one thing, but to see them prowling in the open is a completely different story. A very rare sight indeed. We tracked "Baba" for over an hour and caught him just in the nick of time. He was on the way for a drink of water... before or after a kill? We did not get a chance to find out.
