The colonial rulers tried to break this bond in 1860, but Indians fought against it for over a hundred years. Today, we are once again fighting those who seek to divide us. instagram.com/reel/DT5RbB-DS…

Oh dear. The sambar deer is one of the largest deer species found in India. Known for its sharp senses and deep alarm calls, it plays a crucial role in forest as both a grazer and a prey species for big cats like tigers and leopards. Mostly active during dawn and dusk.

She is cute

Ranthambore may be an important reserve for tigers and tourists, but it is a victim of excessive human interference. In the last 10 years, different tigers have killed a total of 12 people. Apart from tourists, thousands of devotees visit daily to offer prayers at the Trinetra Ganesh Temple located inside the fort, and they pass through the core area of the forest. Although the Forest Department has now banned the entry of two-wheelers and private four-wheelers, large crowds of devotees are still ferried in registered taxis of the Forest Department up to the base of the fort. On Chaturthi (Ganesh Chaturthi) days in every month. devotees also perform the Ganesh Parikrama (circumambulation) on foot through the core area. This is a step that disturbs wildlife 100%. Shouldn’t politicians and the Forest Department jointly take some action on this so that this forest can be kept with minimal human interference? This park is already overpopulated with tigers. Often these tigers come onto the main roads, causing devotees and tourists to be stopped on the way until the tigers move away. In my opinion, this forest should be kept safe with minimal human intervention so that wildlife can thrive properly and their numbers can increase. This is a major problem that will further escalate human-wildlife conflict in the future. #tigerprotection #forestecology #bigcatsafety #bigcatofindia #ranthambhoretigerreserve #rajasthanwildlife

Horrifying news coming from Haridwar’s Shyampur range, poachers poisoned two two year old tiger siblings, severed their legs, and were about to skin them for the illegal trade. One Van Gujjar, Alam alias Ammi, has been arrested, while three others Amir Hamza, Ashiq, and Juppi are on the run. The mother tigress remains missing as forest teams scour the area. The carcasses were found Monday evening and Tuesday afternoon near Sajanpur beat. They had laced buffalo meat with poison as a method to poach.

A concerning report is coming from Ranthambore. Two tigresses in the sanctuary, who had recently separated from their mothers, have not been sighted for the past two weeks or possibly even longer. One of them is RBT-2504, daughter of Riddhi (T-128), and the other is RBT-2510, daughter of Sultana (T-107). Both were trying to establish their own territories in different areas. RBT-2504 had even engaged in a territorial fight with her mother Riddhi. She was attempting to set up her territory in the Zone No. 3-4 Lake Area. The other tigress, RBT-2510, was ranging in the peripheral forest between Amaghati and Falodi Range. Several teams of the Forest Department are actively searching for them, and 100 additional trap cameras have been deployed in the jungle. However, till now, the department has not found any evidence or signs of these two tigresses in the area. This is a serious cause for worry because Ranthambore already has a skewed natural sex ratio, with significantly more male tigers than females. #ranthambhoretigerreserve #rajasthanforest #tigermissing #tigerprotection #bigcatsafety

Gauri Khan’s uncle talking about SRK digging up the grave of his pet dog at 2 AM, the one he loved the most 💔 "SRK became extremely attached to it. While SRK was away shooting, the dog passed away. The house staff wrapped the body in a cloth and buried it near the seashore. When SRK returned home late at night and learned what had happened, he was heartbroken. At 2:30 AM, he woke up the staff, asked them to show him the exact spot, personally dug up the grave, brought the dog’s body back home, placed it in the backyard, and made a memorial there. He even cried and said, 'How dare you throw my dog like this? He has to be with us, whether dead or alive."

There is something about being kind to animals who cannot give you anything in return, the gods return the favour Forget this at your own peril

Twin births in elephants are extraordinarily rare & account for < 1% of births. A single elephant calf weighs around 70–120 kg at birth. Carrying two calves simultaneously is metabolically enormous for the mother. Add to that one of the longest gestation periods in the animal kingdom, 22–24 months & the challenge of twinning becomes clear. Elephants follow what evolutionary biologists call the extreme K-strategy. They keep litter sizes small but invest heavily in each offspring--> through long gestation, prolonged nursing, and years of social learning. When a calf is born, the entire herd cooperates to protect the mother and newborn, because every birth represents an enormous biological investment. With twins, that investment doubles, & the challenges multiply. Elephants have only two mammary glands. The milk produced is rich in fat and perfectly calibrated for one calf. Divided between two, it may not be sufficient for both to thrive. In the wild, this is sometimes compensated by other lactating females in the herd (allomothers) who share their milk with one of the twins to improve survival chances.
