Sri Lanka - Leopard Dynasty

PLAY


Experience the untamed drama of Sri Lanka's lowlands as leopard matriarchs and their cubs navigate survival.

Sri Lanka’s lowlands are home to one of the highest leopard populations on earth. It’s in these lowland jungles the Sri Lankan Leopard – the apex predator of the country – resides.

Meet Scarlett, a dominant female leopard with her own territory. She is also the mother of a female only leopard cub, meaning it is shier than usual. The scrub jungles of the southern lowlands are ideal for rearing leopard cubs. In the northern lowlands we follow Sara who regularly leaves her cub so she can go hunt for prey. But leaving a leopard cub alone is not always wise. She is not the only leopardess around. There's Clara, a more glamorous, commanding female. And while the season changes, and the monsoon finally arrives in the lowlands, transforming the parched land overnight, the leopard cubs will grow and dominate the Sri Lankan wilderness.
