Anyone who saw an elephant on land would never believe that they evolved from marine mammals. But one look at them in the water and their resemblance to their closest living relative the dugong (a kind of sea cow) is obvious.
Today’s safari was fantastic from a photographic point of view. Even though the light was not great we got some fantastic photographs of the Wild Dog – my favorite predator, the Gaur and the Grey Jungle Fowl.
In an action packed evening we saw 4 wild dogs just finish killing a spotted deer beside a herd of grazing elephants.
As the sun set, we began retracing our journey towards the outer boundaries of the park and that is when our tracks coincided with the trail of the prince of cats.
The Grey-Headed Fish Eagle is one of my favorite birds of prey. Seen regularly during the boat safari, this large sized resident has a grey head, a largely white tail and a broad black sub terminal band.
The rhinoceros beetle is the weight lifting champion of the insect world.
Kabini is blessed with a treasure in terms of insect diversity. The insects around us, take turns in staging shows throughout the day.
One early morning I got a call from our staff saying that a strange worm like snake was seen near the boundary of our resort.
The Brahminy Kite is one of the most seen of all birds of prey in Kabini, and hence often overlooked. This handsome bird with a white head on a chestnut body, found all along the backwaters is the Garuda of Indian Mythology, associated with Lord Vishnu.
Jeep Safaris in the misty mornings of winter are truly magical. The mist conceals little secrets and reveals them one by one at every bent and turns in the roads.
