An elusive look

This was one of the most rarest encounters I had in the wild ! I was driving through the forests of Kuldiha WIldlife Sanctuary when suddenly I saw a creature standing right in the middle of the forest road. On going closer it quickly vanished inside the bushes on the side of the road. But, just as I went near the spot where it was standing, I saw it again, staring curiously from the woods...It was an Indian Wolf !

  Hello John ! That's awesome ! I'd recommend you to visit Kuldiha Wildlife Sanctuary...it's not much far from Bhubaneshwar. It's one of the most pristine forests of Odisha. And if you're interested in Bird Photography, then Mangalajodi is a place which you should not miss !
