“In fact, not only do females decide with whom they mate, but our study has shown that a proportion choose to mate more than once each year, and with different males. Traditionally most research of this type has focused on male deer mating strategies and female behaviour during the rut was often overlooked.” It was clicked @ Panna Tiger Reserve, MP
About Photographer
I am a 1997 graduate from Delhi Collage of Art and started my career as an interior designer for media houses. Photography has been my passion for a very long time, but I didn’t get enough time due to my involvement in my business. Recently I got time during the COVID period and started photography again and now I’m enjoying wildlife photography as a hobby. It’s the beginning of new journey for me.I’m more inclined towards wildlife photography as it requires a lot of patience and adaptability skills that I acquire. I also have a lot of respect for wildlife which motivates me to photograph it even more.
During a safari in Tadoba Tiger Reserve, we spotted this pair of bears fighting with each other. These are young sloth bears, seems to be fighting for the territory.
About Photographer
I still remember my childhood days, when I used to sit for hours - observing the activities of the little ants, the birds and the stray animals. On getting my first Smart Phone - on clicking that first picture that's still behind my eyes, I realised that "Wow, this is something amazing." I could now capture the moments I witnessed and let others see those too. After learning photography basics from mobile, I finally got my first Camera - Canon 700d. What I used to think of as a fun activity had now became my passion. I dived more into this thing and finally started my journey of Wildlife Photography. 8 months back I bought a professional wildlife kit and now ready for unlimited crazy experiences..!!!

Mother and son duo. T65 Neelam with her last litter from the woods of Kanha Tiger Reserve. Her cubs were almost 18 months old and were on the verge of separation when she brought them on the kanha grasslands during our visit in October 2021.

RED FOX What an incredible sighting of my favorite Red Fox. This beautiful animal stayed with me for some time and also gave me some of the best moments of my wildlife photography journey in extremely demanding conditions possible. It is so pity to see this animals are disturbed and hunted by feral dogs. Apart from human intervention and tourism in this area, feral dogs has become one of the biggest threat to wildlife. Location : Chicham Village, Lahul Spiti Valley Time : March 2023
