      It was pretty good this time, although there's been a bit of a dry spell. We saw lots of birds and I came across lots of insects and spiders. My group didn't get to see any leopard since we were doing some work there and weren't looking out for them, but we did see a pair of sloth bear.

        Nice! In my opinion, some parks obsess too much over seeing a leopard. It's not like it's the only interesting animal to see there, but many people see it as a trophy I guess :) Posted 7 years ago
