Lovely picture and great sighting of the elusive panther. Eager to know what happened next..part 2!!! I have heard of black panther sightings in Dandeli from more than one person. I would still say its perseverance and luck that can assure one of such sightings. I agree with Roopak, you should add the snow leopard in your list, which I am sure you would have planned of .Thanks for sharing.
