1. Plz stop calling #IndianPariahDogs, ‘free ranging’ or ‘stray’. These are not stray but natural being, naturally found near human settlements, not domesticated but commensal cum symbiotic to us Homo sapiens not unlike bed bug, house lizard, house crow, black kite etc…

It should be now a Severe Cyclone ! Watch out. Eye should appear by morning (2nd Nov) #CycloneMurasu
Cyclone (CS) formed. By night it’d intensify into a Severe Cyclone (SCS). Can it further intensify into a Very Severe Cyclone near the coast(VSCS) ? Let’s see. #CycloneMurasu #AndhraPradesh

A tusk-less male elephant in ‘musth’. This time his testosterone spikes to 50 to 200 times. Yet how calm & composed he’s- merely chasing humans. In fact he’d like some healthy-conflict to engage his musth psych otherwise he’d get bored or destructive.

It’s not rare … it’s the norm. A male tiger doesn’t provide parental care- is a myth spread by humans. The famous male tiger ‘Bamera Son’ with his cubs ❤️
Papa has come home ! Yet another male tiger and another story. A Male tiger doesn’t help in raising/caring/educating/training/protecting his cubs- one hell of a myth !

How massive is that male leopard ! A female as usual would do drama & nail biting before giving in to mating.

By evening/night of today (1st Nov). It will became a Cyclonic Storm (CS). On 2nd Nov, Severe Cyclonic Storm (SCS). Ps: Almost the same path as Arnab, hope different areas get rain this time. #CycloneMurasu

Watch out. At least, a ‘Severe Cyclone’ category in the making. #CycloneMurasu

‘Sundari’ (T 17) was in heat. But d young papa-tiger ‘Zalim’/Dollar (T25) said NO. When d mom-tigress ‘Kachida Female’ (T5) died in 2011- leaving behind her 3 months old 2 female cubs, Either d testosterone level of d Zalim fell by 70% or he’d a great will-power to say NO!
#Zalim/#Dollar/T-25 refused to mate with this seductive tigress that day, as he's rearing his orphaned cubs (seen peeping through in pix 2, the 'fight') & chose cubs over sex. Very ferocious male, hence named Zalim, surprised everybody by showing his caring side. #HappyFathersDay

She’s indeed migratory, wanderer & explorer. But she lost her antenna and went east to Assam instead of West to Nepal/Bihar. 😛
Recently, the signal of tigress T-138, which was released in Buxa Tiger Reserve, had gone missing for the past few days. Naturally, this was a cause for concern. However, the forest department team heaved a sigh of relief when the signal was received again. The tigress is moving further ahead from Buxa towards Raimona National Park after crossing the Sankosh River. The tigress was released in West Bengal and has now reached Assam. This area is part of the Buxa–Manas corridor, which can be considered a very old corridor. A pattern has emerged in this tigress’s behaviour. In recent days, 100 percent of the prey she has hunted has been pigs half of them domestic pigs and half wild boars. Although other prey is also available in this area. How important this tigress is for the region and how decisive she could be for the tiger population can be gauged from the fact that teams from the West Bengal and Assam forest departments, along with the Wildlife Institute of India (WII), and even the paramilitary force SSB ( shashtra seema bal), were engaged in the search operation. Finally, on 30 October, the tigress’s signal was received again after 32 hours. This behaviour of tigers can be called a normal occurrence and falls under the category of their natural exploration. Great hopes are pinned on this tigress for a bright future of Buxa Reserve. I hope she makes this forest her permanent home and produces cubs to increase the lineage. #tigerrelocation #tigerreintroduction #buxatigerreserve #bigcatbehaviour #tigersafety

1. Let a tigress bcm heavily pregnant & see how a leopard would start blackmailing her. 2. And the Dholes keep destroying a tiger’s mental health, like every now & then. 3. Asiatic lions r extinct over most of the places in India… otherwise India teeming with competition!
the difference between me and the competition is that i don't see any competition.🗿

Looks like the papa tiger has come home on the eve of Navratri. How beautiful ! This is one hell of a myth that a male tiger doesn’t raise/care/guard his offspring. A male tiger might look a Zaalim* at first but deep down on his heart & psyche always nestle his cute babies !

I never believe in using condoms to check HIV. And it against the ethics of mating. Let the virus come within and go… let the immunity develop.., let the mutation happen. Let the world prosper ! #HIV #AIDS
2% of the people living in this area are fully resistant to HIV infection. They can never catch HIV. Do you know the reason?

The dispersal aggression. The father gave the son more time (to disperse)…now the son allowed to stay in father’s territory further -say- for 6 months to 1-2 years. Baap ho to aisa 👍 (Though they both benefit from living in the same territory, until they both want same f)
He knew who was coming… and he knew when to surrender. 📹 tiger_with_bobby, Instagram

Perks of being tropical ecotype. Cyclonic flood not a threat. #Ganjam was likely a refuge of d Black Bucks from d main threat- d Asiatic cheetahs- already extinct in India. These continue to thrive in this tropical Ganjam & refine their tropical traits

Mt Everest- the highest peak of the world visible (likely on d 26th or 27th Oct) some 200 km across from Madhubani, Bihar at sea level. Peaks identified by one & only @ Kyangs_Thang (the legend) Photo courtesy: in the picture (Insta) (Due to Pull/push effect of #CycloneArnab)
Supaul, Bihar. Some of the prominent Himalayan peaks visible from/near the sea level. Cho Oyu- the 6th highest peak of the world. Mt. Everest & Lhotse should be to the right, out of frame. Peaks identification credits: @ Kyangs_Thang. Picture-on-X credit @ aaraam_pasand

(Say NO to AI/editing) #CycloneArnab’s pull/push-effect caused a crystal clear, pollution free, cloud free, high UV weather in parts of Bihar-Himalayas on 26th & 27th. And guess what ? #Kangchenjunga/#Kanchenjunga visible from 200-300 km distant Thakurganj, Kishanganj, Bihar!

No roam & no point in living when she behaves sterile & can’t bear kids (in real time). After loosing cubs to this intruder male she should accept this king. ‘Still mourning & still seeing the King as an enemy’ is a FAULT- got removed by d HUGE SEXUAL DIAMORPHISM of nature 💔
After killing her cubs, the male Lion still followed the female lion Because she had refuse to mate, and this time she fell victim to an attack by the same male lion.

There’d be a LARGE (FATHER) FIGURE loitering at a some distance from d herd that’s got few newborn type calves. There’re many newborns in this herd (not evident from d picture) ‘Male elephants don’t help in raising/protecting calves’- one hell of a myth! teapawt.org/parveenkaswan/status/2…
