I came across this scene in Bandhavgarh National Park in 2006. I was very happy to see this as earlier, I had told my driver that I will only photograph a wild boar eating flesh. The driver and the guide were aghast and told me that wildboar doesn't eat meat. I was surprised that these fellows have been going to the forest everyday and don't have an idea about the wild boar habits. Fortunately, two days after we had this conversation, we came across this scene.

Canon EOS 10D, Canon EF 300mm f4 L IS USM, ISO 100, 1/20 sec, f4.

Look forward to your comments.

Great documentation, the guide and driver must have got the shock of their lives!

Nice. It is surprising the amount of preconceived notions we have about animal behavior.
