Hi Mohan,

This is a fantastic capture. This depicts the unfortunate reality of the impact of roads cutting across wildlife habitat. A lot of wildlife deaths happen and is often unnoticed by people. To make matters worse, endangered and nocturnal species are often runover by speeding vehicles.

That will help serve as a record. A brief description of the place and observations will help.

Thanks for sharing.

Amazing photograph. First of all sighting jungle cat is difficult and then you were ready with your camera and managed to capture it in that brief seconds with good details. Very well captured. The mid-air pose adds to the composition. Very well captured. Thanks for sharing.

This is a rare sighting of this shy cat. You did well to photograph the action on road.

TFS. :001_smile:
