RogerHooper’s ‘Ultimate Island Safari’ - 26 leopards, 16 blue whales
World Wildlife Photographer Roger Hooper who was
in Sri Lanka in October had one of his most amazing wild experiences while
visiting Yala and Mirissa with the Nature Trails Team.
He saw not less than 26 leopards in just four days, asserting the fact that Sri Lanka has the highest density of leopard within a square kilometer anywhere in the world. His next indelible moment came in Mirissa when not less than 16 blue whales gave him a mid-sea spectacle that would surely have even the most experienced wildlife enthusiast gasp in awe.
Hooper, who was commended by former WWF-UK Chief Executive Robert Napier as producing images that “remind us of the beauty and fragility of forests and the creatures and people who depend on them for survival” says his camera was in overdrive as he photographed some amazing scenes that he termed as totally unique.
“Every moment of seeing those leopards in Yala was memorable, but what has remained most in my mind is the panorama of the three leopard cubs playing on the rocks.”
Although having espied leopards all over the world in forest situations, Hooper explains that the rock vista was unique and different when it comes to background scenery.
