This Mongoose picture has been photograph at Rajarhat/Newtown/Kolkata, when a Mongoose caught a snake and try to kill to eat. It's a moment of a fight between prey & predator.

In Kheoni Wildlife Sanctuary, a rare sight stunned us—a tiger cub perched on a Tamarind tree. The sanctuary's scarcity of tiger sightings made it even more special. Our hearts raced as we captured the moment, cherishing the extraordinary experience. It was a breathtaking blend of surprise, awe, and pure joy.
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..!!!
