High School Cats!

By now most of you know about this Tigeress and her 4 cubs.Naturally she has to kill regularly to keep up with the appetite of her cubs.So the previous evening she had killed a spotted deer stag in a depression not distracted by the crowd of people gathered watching her early evening.We were having a calm afternoon at a waterhole oblivious to this...

A Dream come true...............

Today we entered late in the park by 15 minutes and was driving slowly as one of the guest was feeling very cold. After 1 1/2 hours I reached at a place where some forest guards were standing. So I just asked them any "ALARM CALLS". They said just few minutes back we heard Tiger roar and it went ahead. So I drove fast and after 1 1/2 Kms we came close to...

Spot the Leopard

As we were driving in the park we heard alarm calls of Langur. So we turned back from were the langurs were giving alarm calls. As we were about to reach the place, I saw vehicles which were already parked at some distance. I stopped the vehicle giving a gap of about 100 mtrs and with in few seconds a sub-adult male Leopard leaps from the grass and we all...

Leopard country! Back with the Bang!

I still remember, it was little cloudy and also a bit chilly weather. We started for the afternoon drive, and the jungle was very pleasant and silent as well. We were driving for about 25 mins through the wooded patch. Although no alarm calls, but the birds were entertaining us with their beautiful calls! As we were just driving without any clue towards a...

We are Open!

For the three and half months that the National Parks are closed here,the wait always seems excruciatingly long for them to open especially when one is on the edge of it setting up our lodge.But the frustration quickly dissipates into joyous excitement just a few minutes in the park.The monsoon transforms the scene completely.Now the grass is...

The Giant Indian Flying Squirrel!

Flying squirrels are actually gliding mammals incapable of sustained flight. Steering is accomplished by adjusting tautness of the patagium, largely controlled by small cartilaginous wrist bone. The tail acts as stabilizer in flight much like the tail of a kite.. So it was the evening time I was going to check a waterhole and I happen to see something...
