Poson Dart Frog from Japan

The Sea Creature

Taken at the Tsukiji Fish market in Tokyo. Tsukiji market is the biggest fish and vegetable market in the world.

You can have a look into the trip report of Japan here. 

Shrimp or Prawn?
There is often confusion regarding the difference between a shrimp and a prawn. In shrimps the side plate of the second segment of the abdomen overlaps the segments in front and behind. In Prawns all the abdominal side plates overlapping tile-like from the front.

Most likely this photo is of a shrimp.

The Elephants

This photo was taken during my first visit to Bandhavgarh National Park.

Angry Elephant

This is a young and angry tusker we spotted at Chilapata forest, near Jaldapara Sanctuary. Chilapata forest is a very dense forest, and a great place to spot elephants in particular.

Hanging Bridge at Suntaleykhola

This is the famous hanging bridge or suspension bridge at Suntaleykhola. The place is in North Bengal, Dooars region. Well connected by road from New Jalpaiguri station. The nearest railway station is New Mal Jn. There is a good accommodation at this place run by WBFDC, called Suntaleykhola Wilderness Camp. There are some cottage style accommodation. Also few Tent style accommodations are located there in a separate place which is also run by WBFDC.

The monkey

Taken in a forest road, this one is a Hanuman Langur. Hanuman Langur, the most common Indian Langur is one of the Old World monkeys, belonging to the Semnopithecus Genus. Hanuman langur is also known by the name of Gray Langur, Entellus Langur and Common Indian Langur.
In the Indian forest, langurs form the most powerful ‘vigilance system’ against tigers.

The Mysterious Sea creature

Taken at the sea beach of Digha, India, this mysterious creature (not sure about its species) was caught from deep sea in fish net and was dead when I found it.

Bandhavgarh National Park

Took this picture on the way back from the morning forest safari trip from Bandhavgarh National Park. The elephant was used by forest dept to search tiger and took them away from the villages near the forest when the tiger enters the villages.

Asian Elephants

The Asian elephants are quite smaller than the African elephants, but still the authority they have over the forest is really admirable.The baby elephant in Bandhavgarh National Park is real cute.

Reptile

Capturing this chamelion was a real difficult task as it was very shy. What I have done was wait, wait and wait till it became familiar with my presence. And I took several shots of it, even I could take a picture of it eating the green leaves of some plants.

Snow Horse

This picture was taken during heavy snow falls at Rothang pass, Himachal Pradesh in India. The horse was standing lonely near the mountain road, it seemed it was just waiting for the wings to grow, and fly.
