I'm sitting on the edge of the Indian Ocean in Kumana National Park, southeast Sri Lanka, with my friend and guide Mevan Piyasena. Mevan's been obsessed with leopards for over 40 years, and after the sightings we've just had (10 leopards in Yala, another six or seven here in Kumana), I can see why.
We'll introduce you to a mother leopard called Sankani and her two bold cubs, a notorious tusker named Gamunu who's perfected the art of ambushing cars for food, and a nasty male leopard who chased away six other leopards when he moved into the area!
Mevan also tells us about the one leopard encounter that still gets his heart racing after thousands of sightings, why Sri Lankan leopards are the prettiest in the world, and the split second moment that separates an ordinary shot from the one you'll never forget.
