There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Amazing Write up, makes you feel like you are there........
 PV SubramaniamSanctuary AsiaYesterday at 10:16am · Summer has steadily tightened its grip around the North Indian plains, but Sambhar Road still packs a little nip in the early morning hours. A dark form emerges from the cool waters of the Ramganga, and our driver Nadeem hisses, "Tiger!"
The large male, soaking wet from his swim, disappears into the dense undergrowth in a trice, and we quickly move ahead to await his arrival on the road. As the minutes tick away, the adrenaline rush turns slowly into a stage of muted alertness.
A Red-breasted Parakeet whines in displeasure as we are privy to her nest-building. A Lesser Fish Eagle gives his best imitation of a crying baby, while a Kaleej Pheasant flicks fallen leaves off, trying to unearth a hidden caterpillar or two. The honeyed fragrance of the Sal in full bloom, and the sensual perfume of the forest jasmine soothe the mind, and soon a pleasant lull sets in. The buzzing of myriad bees lulls you to into a stupor. Ninety minutes of this jungle symphony, and most of us are into pleasant daydreams.
The forest then pulls the rug from under our feet - another huge male tiger wanders onto the road from an unexpected direction, and is as surprised as we are. One glance at us, and he stomps off towards the river, into the oblivion provided by the Lantana bushes. So we had a tiger in hand, and then two in the bush...
