from @bhargava_srivari - As the clouds thundered and rain poured down, the black ghost of the jungle stared straight at me.

The descent of a leopard . In a few seconds this leopardess climbed down a 30 foot tree without making even a sound. Picture from @callofthewildmumbai .

Picture from @ramakrishnan_aiyaswamy - Branch Breaker!

When it comes to choosing a cozy corner for an evening siesta, there's no looking back; even if it meant to break a branch or two. Referred to as Torn Ears by my friends, this male leopard latched on to one of his favourite trees waiting for the rains to stop.
The #D500 won't disappoint you with its focusing, provided you have chosen the right focus points and are quick in toggling them. I will share a different image & share my views on its noise performance on my next post. © 2016 Ramakrishnan Aiyaswamy

The Gems of the heaven called KABINI !!
.
Scarface shaped my destiny, Cleopatra and her first born showed me the importance of family and unity, it was Torn Ears who taught me never to back down and Monk’s endless journey that allowed me to transcend time. These cats were more than just animals and were more human than most people, each with strong individual characteristics that helped shape mine. They are the leopards of Kabini and their lives will forever hold the most important chapter in my book of life.
As seen and told by @shaazjung @thebisonkabini .

LOL

Picture from @Vinay.mb.9 - A hyperactive little ball of spots.. Every now and then this beautiful place Kabini gives us an experience that changes our lives. Recently I have been lucky enough to have a couple of these experiences and each one seems to be better than the last. .......nothing more to say..:) Managed this shot with just enough light left.!

Monday’s be like this !!

A rare tete-a-tete between two unlikely buddies as a Malabar Giant Squirrel and a Grey Langur share a branch during a summer afternoon.

They had just mated, and walked in front of us before disappearing into the forest.
