Conflict between humans and wildlife is an age old one; however, due to rapid growth of human population and subsequent reduction of natural habitat it is acute now. In Assam, every year at least 30-40 persons are losing their lives while a dozen or so elephants are killed by various reasons. The wild elephants are very much fond of ripped paddy and so they damage the crops raised by the nearby villagers. The photograph from Dhamar, Lakhipur,Goalpara Assam represents the same. A flock of wild elephants came to the ripped paddy field and the villagers were protesting them not to destroy more.

Shaheen Falcon with Wedge-tailed Pigeon kill! While birding in the tea-estates of Rongtong, North Bengal I was suddenly surprised by this amazing bird of prey. It came flying in from far and sat on a barren tree branch in front of us. While he had a feast on this once beautiful Wedge-tailed Pigeon, I sat admiring the elegant and magical presence of this fearsome creation of nature. Rongtong, West Bengal - 2024

Indifferent hunter: In the wild, the tiger is a masterful predator whose presence commands respect and admiration. However, there are moments when this apex predator surprises observers by displaying behaviors that defy expectations. One such instance occurs when a tiger, despite being a carnivore by nature, shows disinterest in its potential prey, such as a deer. There could be several reasons for this apparent lack of interest. One common explanation is that the tiger might not be hungry at that particular moment. Tigers are known to be opportunistic hunters, conserving their energy for when it's most needed. If they have recently fed or if their energy reserves are sufficient, they may choose not to pursue prey.

1st image details:: During a winter birding trip to Kaziranga national park in April 2024, Me and my wildlife partner patiently waited for some portrait shots of the pride of Assam, one horned Rhino. Suddenly our guide pointed to some disturbance in nearby bushes. We pointed our camera towards it. Indeed, it was a disturbance. Disturbing the silence of the Jungle were a pair of one of my favourite birds, Bee eaters. Fighting for the territory or maybe for the right to mate with the female, they displayed some acrobatics and gave us the opportunity to capture some actions. As they say, Life is not what you expect, it is made up of the most unexpected twists and turns. We made the moment count and finally my dream come true.

This image showcases a female Indian Red Scorpion (Hottentotta tamulus) carrying her vulnerable scorplings on her back, highlighting a vital aspect of maternal care in this species. The scorplings, initially white and defenseless, depend entirely on their mother for protection and mobility after birth. This behavior reflects the scorpion's significant parental investment, as the mother safeguards her young until they can survive on their own. Captured in north Maharashtra, the photograph offers a rare glimpse into the reproductive and developmental stages of this venomous species, emphasizing the crucial role of maternal care in the early life of the Indian Red Scorpion. This image not only reveals the intricate behavior of this misunderstood creature but also underscores the delicate balance of life and the importance of preserving even the most feared and overlooked species.
