This World Wildlife Day 2023, let's not only celeb This World Wildlife Day 2023, let's not only celebrate the outstanding partnerships that have lead to great achievements in conservation, but recognise how doing more together can create a brighter future for the protection of wildlife and prepare ourselves to hand the torch to the youth in which the future of nature is held. 

Education through collaboration is the way forward for conservation.
As the great Jane Goodall once said,

“I do have reasons for hope: our clever brains, the resilience of nature, the indomitable human spirit, and above all, the commitment of young people when they're empowered to take action.” 

Let's take this note of hope and make an effort to build further collaborations for the security of the future of our world's wildlife!

Seldom said but clearly noticeable; Yala National Seldom said but clearly noticeable; Yala National Park holds one of the highest densities of Mugger Crocodiles in all of Asia! When passing a water hole or even a seasonal stream, keep watch for these magnificent, pre-historic reptiles! Mugger Crocodiles are not just an astonishment to look at but on safari, our guides explain to you, how they have survived for over 200 million years!

Experiencing Sri Lanka's wilderness from an advent Experiencing Sri Lanka's wilderness from an adventurous yet educational perspective will leave you with a new-found love for the wonders of the wild. Knowledge shared from generation to generation and guide to guest is what holds us close to our roots and allows us to spread our passion.

The gentleman on the right in this photo is Carolis "Chandre" Chandrasena, born in the jungles of Yala East and a tracker of 40 years in the Sri Lankan wilderness. After his retirement, he has joined Ceylon Wild Safaris to share his knowledge that has been gained through islandwide experience.

Are Jackals really as sneaky and cunning as their Are Jackals really as sneaky and cunning as their reputation portrays? Or are they simply phenomenal survivors in a realm of overwhelming competition? The truth is that a jackal's incredible ability to adapt and manipulate their surroundings is what makes them so brilliant! Jackals are so smart, or "cunning" that they've been known to actually "play dead", even in the jaws of larger predators, to throw off their competitors' attention, giving them a chance to escape!

The only way anyone should ever shoot an elephant, The only way anyone should ever shoot an elephant, or any wildlife, is with a camera! 

It's tough to think that if we don't work together, then photographs and memories could possibly be the only way for us to show these magnificent beings to the next generation.

For centuries, populations of elephants have lived in harmony with their surroundings and found their balanced place within their ecosystems, performing their ecological roles. Just like every other living thing in the natural world. 

Unfortunately due to the destruction of their wilderness home for farmland and the conflict they encounter due to rapid expansion of human encroachment, they are at risk. 

With conservation through collaboration, we need to make a change. We need to save elephants and we need to save every other component of their natural home. They are one. We can be too.

A leopard's rosettes and facial spot patterns play A leopard's rosettes and facial spot patterns play a crucial role in their hunting abilities. Just as the light falls through the leaves of the dry zone jungles, the patterning breaks up the general outline of the animal and allows it to blend brilliantly into it's surroundings. This is known as "disruptive markings". As leopards are ambush predators, they need to be able to get close to their prey before leaping into chase. As they blend so well due to these markings, their prey are unaware of their presence until its too late. It also makes them quite difficult for us to find them but on this afternoon safari, Indika found a stunning  leopard laying down proudly near a recent catch.

One of Yala National Park's prime male leopards; t One of Yala National Park's prime male leopards; the 2:2 Pan Wala male, known to many of the park's visitors as "Lucas". A proud and bold leopard with a head metaphorically as large as it looks. For quite some time, he has been battling at the front territorial lines with another large male leopard whom is supposedly the murderer of his brother. Seemingly, the 2:2 Pan Wala male remains the dominant male of the Handunorwa and Sudi-Weli Mulla area which sits in the North East of Yala zone 1, almost following the footsteps of the legendary, late Hamu; an impressive and long lived leopard who left his mark prominently in the books of the feline legends of Yala. 
Although many battles have been witnessed between this male leopard and his rival neighbour, what is next in the paw-steps of this fantastic animal? Will he follow through with his instincts and conquer? Will we see his demise as he takes on overwhelming challenges? Will he hold his shoulders as heavy as we see in this photo for time to come? Only time will tell as we patiently observe.

The Oriental darter; a commonly seen yet seldom ap The Oriental darter; a commonly seen yet seldom appreciated species that exists throught much of tropical Asia. Another name commonly given to this aquatic hunter is the "snakebird" because its long slender neck resembles a serpent as it often protrudes above the water surface. Similar to the cormorants, the darter completely submerges its body underwater as it goes spearfishing with its sharp, straight, dart-like bill.
