Wonderful Ruwani, female Sri Lankan leopard (Panthera pardus kotiya, levhart cejlonsky) from ZOO Brno, Czech republic...

Story of the title: Ruwani, my beloved leopard, died today. She was killed by the male, when ZOO keepers put both animals together to make them mate. I loved her nice face and cute curled tail, which was her sign...
More info in my journal: [link]

Goodbye, my wonderful Ruwani :cry:

She was such a beauty... :( It's always so hard to lose something or someone so special. She will always be remembered, and I am positive that she is now running through the stars like every beautiful leopard that passed before her. <3
