Hunting leopard – a huge male from Corbett National Park

A rare leopard sighting in Jim Corbett National Park. Given the profusion of tigers in Corbett (it has the highest number of tigers and the highest density of tigers in the world), the leopards have been pushed out to the peripheries and buffer zones. This was a serendipitous and a rare sighting in the Jhirna [...]

Lion-tailed macaques of Anamalai Tiger Reserve, Tamil Nadu

This 'Old World Monkey' isn't just another primate; it's an endangered species, its silver mane reminiscent of a regal lion. LTMs have been fighting for survival in just [...]
