As the golden sun slowly descends towards the horizon, casting its warm glow upon the lush green forest canopy, a magnificent golden jackal stands gracefully on the forest floor. Its coat glistens brightly in the fading light, like molten gold, and creates a stunning contrast against the verdant surroundings. The jackal stands tall and proud, its keen senses alert to every rustle in the leaves and every movement in the shadows, as it surveys its kingdom with a watchful eye. The sight of the jackal in this serene and awe-inspiring setting creates a sense of wonder and admiration for the beauty of the natural world.

About Photographer
I am an autodidact photographer with good patience and passion towards nature. The journey of photography started with a beginner's camera exploring the aesthetics of nature. Initiated with the love of nature then turned into passion for wildlife photography without my knowledge.
Photography led me to learn and explore the habitats of species in nature and to explore the locations for specific species. I enjoy my passion and love being a part of nature.
It was a dream to see Leopard on a tree, walking was bonus. Pench National Park has beautiful habitat for leopards. This tree was at perfect distance and with clear view and after sitting for over 20mins it started walking on the branch. The tiger at just 200m away restricted the leopard from climbing down the tree.
