About Photographer
Passionate wildlife photographer, who loves to capture birds and wild animals in nature habitat.
During a summer morning safari in Ranthambore, we spotted a mother and her offspring. The surrounding area was filled with cheetal calls, which led us to investigate. To our surprise, the calls were not for a tiger or leopard, but for a delightful trio of sloth bears. First seven to nine months of their lives, sloth bear cubs are carried on their mother's back. This behavior serves two purposes. The first is to shield the cubs from predators like tigers. In fact, there are reports of mother bears fending off tigers while carrying two cubs on her back. Additionally, it is worth noting that other myrmecophagous mammals, such as the giant anteater, also exhibit this behavior of carrying their young on their backs.

Wildlife/nature travel has always been a passion which I have only been able to follow lately with multiple visits to our national parks. Tigers are my new found love and sheer size and beauty of the animal makes we want to go to the parks time and again. Just leave me with my binoculars in the park, without my camera, I am equally happy!

About Photographer
It’s always been my dream to be a wildlife photographer. When I was 15 I bought my first camera but I never got the chance to go to a national park. A few years later, I went to my first national park and never looked back ever since. I’m an amateur photographer who is still learning but I’m definitely glad that I’m following my passion and doing what I love!

The first time we saw this little beautiful Yellow-Rumped Honeyguide, it kept hopping around the trees. However, during the 2nd sighting, we noticed that there were Honeycombs high up the mountain wall and luckily the bird did go for feeding giving me an opportunity to make this image.
