Almost all wild cats are ‘ambush hunters’ and #Camouflage is really important to them. I would have never spotted this leopard if he did not turn his head to look towards us
- a photo thread for #IndiAves
Same here. If this Caracal had not moved her head to show her gorgeous ‘tufted ears’ my guide would have never spotted her.
Name: सिया or Ink - गोश or ears : to make सियागोश in Hindi, their name
We had spotted this Jungle cat entering this patch of short grass and then totally lost her till she came out in the open. We are good at spotting wildlife, really good but this one played with us.
Beat this cat - ‘almost’ 10 feet long 300 kgs - and the ever alert Axis deer can’t see her. A Royal Bengal Tiger indeed 🙏
King cat when it comes to #camouflage is the awesome Snow Leopard. Right in front of you and you still can’t see them.
Predators aren’t the only ‘cats’ when it comes to #camouflage Check this Indian Muntjac or Barking deer. Predators have to spot these guys before hunting them, bloody tough job
Painted Sandgrouse chick - need I say more about #camouflage
