Tigers, bears, mongooses, bonnet macaques…. some curious, some hungry, some shocked….
These are from camera traps set up in various forests of south India.
This is the tiger that we named coffee.
Another curious tiger, this one named sabarsadam.
Coffee again, this is her classic picture. Eye of the tiger!
The large and entertaining stripe necked mongoose.
Three porcupines having a consultation on how to deal with this monstrosity that flashes like lightning!
The piglets on the other hand have decided that they will charge this monstrosity and take it down….
Whereas the muntjac has no clue and can only gaze stupidly at this strange contraption.
Or suspicion, as the case may be.
This lion tailed macaque probably feels very vulnerable on the ground, since he is mostly up in the trees 30+m up.
The black panther clearly knows that something is up, and he’s looking around suspiciously.
Slightly confused looking leopard, finding out all the strange sights that the world has to offer….
… though this guy doesnt really like his privacy being intruded upon.
Wait a minute…. this boxy contraption wasnt there yesterday, was it?
Cluck cluck. Cluck cluck. Cluck cluck. And so on…
How dare you interrupt me while I am eating, said the gaur.
If you continue to do this, I will make rude faces at you. Take that!
You can clearly see why monkeys are our close relatives! This bonnet macaque spent a long time examining the camera and also left a little present on top (dont ask me what).
You dare challenge me???!!!! I am the dominant sambar around here!
Let me try to sneak past the camera….
OK time for some camera smashing….
