Sloth Bear in Monsoon Rains

[Aditya Panda]

Hi everyone,

Apologies for being inactive on the forum for a very long time... I was caught up with a lot of work and a bit of wildlifing too.

Over the past fortnight I was touring Karnataka and managed to visit B R Hills, Bhadra Tiger Reserve, Daroji WLS, some birding around Mysore and Bangalore and a very lucky and intuitive afternoon ride to Kabini where I spent half an hour with a pack of ten wild dogs :D

Starting with this image of a sloth bear in Daroji. Had a field day there!

I like the composition. The rain drops impart a nice feel to the image. The blurred fore paw gives an impression of motion. Good one.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
