Some Indian Animals ::

Leopard On a tree ::

Found -South Gujarat – outskirts of Vansda National Park & Poorna Sanctuary

Tiger – Gaur Face-off, Bandhavgarh::

In 2011-12, fifty gaur were brought to Bandhavgarh from Kanha as an initiative to reverse the local extinction of the species. Twenty calves have been born since then. A few mortalities have taken place owing to predation and other natural factors, but the population is growing.

Dholes in Tea Estate near Chembra peak, Kerala ::

Even large mammals like leopards, tigers, sloth bear, wild dog and elephants still survive in rainforest fragments, including private tea and coffee plantations, perhaps due to the proximity of surrounding large tracts of reserved forest areas.

First record of Hodgson’s Bat from Western Ghats::

The Hodgson’s Bat (Myotis formosus) is a strikingly colored bat that roosts in foliage. It is a widespread species ranging from Central to South-east Asia. In India it is reported from 14 localities in North and East India and one locality in Central India. This species superficially resembles the more popular Painted Wolly Bat (Kerivoula picta).It is unfortunate that almost all Indian bats are categorized as ‘vermin’ under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. Bats’ significant ecological role as pest controllers should be recognized and their status uplifted.

Some Unique creatures of India :::

Ghasiram Tusker :

December, 2004, Ghasiram Sot, Chilla Range, Rajaji National Park. The mixed Sal forests along the foothills of the Himalayas were quiet. The nomadic Gujjar pastoralists who had occupied these forests had vacated as part of a voluntary resettlement program, and there was lush Saccharum spontaneum grass in the once heavily overgrazed dry river beds.This magnificent tusker was last seen in Rajaji National Park , Uttarakhand in 2009

Dead Bonelli’s Eagle:

Bonelli’s Eagle populations have declined drastically throughout their range. In addition to persecution by hunters and pigeon fanciers, pesticides, habitat degradation, loss of prey species, and collision with powerlines are major factors contributing to their decline

Courtship of Red-necked Falcons, Tal Chhapar:

The Red-necked Falcon (Falco chicquera) is a widespread resident in India and adjacent regions, as well as sub-Saharan Africa. This photo is from the Tal Chhapar Blackbuck Sanctuary in Churu district, Rajasthan.

Stripe-necked Mongoose with Plastic Bottle, Bandipur:::

Littering is a serious problem in and around our wildlife sanctuaries. Driving on a road that cuts through any of these sanctuaries will show up water bottles, plastic covers and other trash. Not only do they harm the herbivores that feed on them, plastics leach chemicals into the soil causing damage to the eco-system in the long run.

In Life it happens ::

In Life we will face many problems. The best solution of the problems is within yourself. If u expect that others will solve ur problems then they wont. Some will give u ways to solve the problem .They are ur true friends. There will be many who will laugh at u. They are the one who enjoy seeing others in problem. Some will not do anything . For those u dont matter. So first find a solution in urself. If not then share it with the one whom can understand ur problem and can give a solution to it.

Frndship

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

If u donot understand your own friend then u cant expect him to understand u. The best knot of friendship is understanding . So frnds make frnds who can understand u and to whom u can understand.. ::
