MONOCHROME..CLOSE ENCOUNTER OF A STRIPE...KANHA...!!


Closing on an alarm call of the Cheetals ( spotted deer) we were waiting for the tiger to be sighted. But nothing like this ...when she emerged right in front of us. I could not believe my eyes...I took a second to recompose myself and put my eyes in the viewfinder of my camera.

I just cannot forget this sighting & keep admiring this beautiful Mammal to have seen from such close quarters in wild.

TUSKER WATER SPLASH...KABINI..!!


Water is an integral part of Mammals & more so for Elephants because of its size.. During summer the body temperature rises and these huge Mammals need to cool off. They move in search of water and once found, they will spend lot of time time quenching thirst and cooling off. They also mud-splash their body which acts as antiseptic.
