Leslie (#80): Leslie was first seen by researchers in 2004 with only one small scar and one small spot. On the first day of the 2005 field season, Leslie made sure that researchers noticed her! She has been seen regularly during each season since. A young juvenile, she is only beginning to develop her spots. We can't wait to see what Leslie looks like in a few years!
