Two female barasingas by the watering hole on an early morning.
I'm suddenly in a mood to post this. Looks like the coffee's working. Go psychedelic!
Bengal Tiger
Bengal tigers live in India and are sometimes called Indian tigers. They are the most common tiger and number about half of all wild tigers. Over many centuries they have become an important part of Indian tradition.
Over the last 100 years, hunting and forest destruction have reduced tiger populations from hundreds of thousands of animals to perhaps fewer than 2,500. Tigers are hunted as trophies, and also for body parts that are used in traditional Chinese medicine. All five remaining tiger subspecies are at-risk, and many protection programs are in place.
As we headed back from the safari in the buffer zone, this showed up in the headlights. We had to turn back
Do owls sleep during the day? These three, young ones seemed to be taking a nap after a long night out in the forest.
The image shows the habitat of this very camouflaged and elusive mammal. We witnessed a very rare and ultimate sequence, just after we saw the jackal being chased by the tigress, we saw a dhole chase this leopard and while our gypsy was still moving towards the scene i saw the dhole jump behind the leopard while the leopard climbed the tree, it was as if the dhole would also climbing the tree. There was only 1 vehicle standing there in the right place, i wished we had been there a little earlier, i could have got the dhole jumping on the leopard image. Anyway i am satisfied even to witness such a rare scene in the wild. Image shot using a Nikon d300+ nikor 200-400vr on monopod
