The title and the picture won’t really tell you the entire story.
We did spot a leopard while crossing one of the ravines but if you were expecting that the leopard would take a quick stop, pose for us till we got a good shot and all, it doesn’t really happen that way in the jungle. We got a clear but very short glimpse of this leopard while he vanished into the trees. He was probably on a kill as we could hear multiple alert calls, from monkeys and deer as the guide explained us.
So I decided to share the picture of the leopard I shot in the museum but just that it happens to be a post-life one!
You would find over hundred species of birds in Kanha. I am a total non-expert in Ornithology and hence preferred to admire the birdies sitting pretty in trees, walking on the roads or flying all over.
Capturing these birds through a poor lense that I had was a big headache. But even if I had a much more powerful lense, this experience explains that wild life photography is not a joke.
I am sure in love with the jungles. You would also be if you can admire the abundant beauty spread over acres and acres.
I shot this picture at around six in the morning and trust me it was COLD. Later we were told it was less than three degrees centigrade. My fingers were frozen and I really tried hard to capture this heavenly backdrop.
This bison walked straight towards our jeep and apart from trying capture this huge thing in my capture I also prayed to god that he should shower mercy over us in case the bison decided to charge.
This ‘in-your-face’ glare of the bison is intimidating and makes you realize why would even tigers avoid this dude for a dinner, unless unavoidable. Especially while in group, bison would be unbeatable for tigers. And now most amazing fact, bisons are vegetarians!!! If eating grass would develop such muscles, I would change my diet right away.
If there ever was any Mr Bison competition, this dude would sure win.
In the first safari in Kanha, tigers ditched us but few other families played like gracious hosts and almost posed for us.
On the way back to the resort we spotted this bison walking in the field close to the safari trail. The evening sun, chilly air and the wholesome freshness of the jungle made the whole mystical. And this bison looks almost divine here!
In this jungle visit, our agenda was very clear, to spot the tiger. All those who have seen tiger only in the zoo, I mind you that spotting the tiger in the jungle is not at all easy. Nobody really cares about your wish and all you need to do is to try your luck.
Since we were all heart-broken after our visit to Pench last year, when we spotted the fresh foot prints of a male tiger in our very first safari in Kanha, we decided to control our joys till we would see owner of that foot print. But as luck would have it, the owners had decided against our wishes in that first safari.
Do you ever try making sense out of the random clouds in the sky? I sure have that weird habit. So let me know if you too notice the Batman sign here.While you are in a jungle, you feel fresh, miss all kinds of pollution and can’t help but admire the wide, clear and crystal blue sky!
