Tomorrow sees me returning back to the stunning jungles of Sri Lanka, in search of two of the island’s most impressive animals, the elusive Sri Lankan leopard and the huge tusker elephants that roam these wild landscapes.
Sri Lanka has always been one of my favourite places to photograph leopards. With no tigers or lions to compete with, they sit right at the top of the food chain here, and the island is home to one of the highest densities of leopards anywhere in the world.
The Sri Lankan leopard is also found nowhere else on Earth. It’s a unique subspecies and, with males capable of reaching seriously impressive sizes, they’re every bit as powerful as they look.
But high densities certainly don’t mean easy sightings. They can disappear into the jungle within seconds, which is exactly what makes every encounter so special.
