Mother and Baby Elephant @ Kabini Backwaters, Nagarhole National Park- June 2016

Clicked this image during one of my wildlife safari. The bond between a baby elephant and its mother can be correctly described as the closest of any animal on earth. The mother and Baby elephant were enjoying grassing. The Baby Elephant was wandering with its mother and learning the habits from her. 

Spotted Deer Shaking off water from its body while raining @ Kabini Backwaters - June 2016

 

When i was in a wildlife safari, it started to rain heavily. Normally it is not possible to sight most of the wild animals during heavy rain, animals used to go deep into the thick forest to avoid getting wet in the rain. But I get to sight lot of Spotted Deer standing under a tree. I waited for the wonderful opportunity and situation, and then clicked the photograph of a Spotted Deer shaking off the water from its body while raining.

Adult Male Tiger of Bandipur Tiger Reserve

Clicked this tiger image during one of my wildlife safari. I waiting for long time after getting the "alarm call" from the Deer and Peacock. Usually animals like Deer, Gaur, Gray Langur, Peacock and Monkeys used to generate a typical sound or noise if they find any movement of the predators. The Tiger just came out from the bush and i was able to click this photograph.
