Rajpal,
It is unfortunate that snares are placed in a tiger reserve. I am surprised that dholes could escape with snares around their necks. Did you find wounds due to the snares? Was it inside Tadoba or in the patch before Tadoba?

Like the alert look and the composition here.

Cheers,

Lovely portrait. Liked the pose and the eye contact. Nice low angle. Liked the alert look. There seems to be some noise in the image. Do post the EXIF details.

Look forward to more..

Nice image. It is sad that these snares remain with these animals. when i was in Rourkela in Orissa, once a leopard had got caught in a snare near a village. Animal rescue arrived 48 hours later and by that time, the wire had cut into its skin around its waist... they took it to an animal hospital. Dont know what happened of it, but it was in a pretty bad shape... hungry, exhausted and irritated with all the people arnd for 48 hrs...
