There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

""Siyambalagaswewa male", one of the biggest(probably the biggest) leopards I've seen in Sri Lanka. We were lucky enough to get a glimpse of him during this weekend at Yala National Park."

Srilankan leopards seem to be having longer and robust tails, a prominent feature among alpha predators in their ecosystem.

"It is hard to top days like this. A vintage Yala leopard sighting of a mating couple taken in Modaragala over the weekend. It has been a few years since I got a good sighting in Yala and this was truly a special moment which will not be forgotten."
