Praveen,
The action was amazing. Unfortunately, the light was pretty low. If there would have been a kill, then the action would have been over soon. They would have taken half an hour to clean up a fawn kill. The counter attacks by the Sambars and the behaviour of the mother and fawn were worth watching. I am not sure, when I will get a chance to see such an action sequence again. And yes, it was Kavare katte water hole. Your record of dholes hunting the cheetal fawn is a very nice documentation of the behaviour. I guess within a month, our understanding of the behaviour of dholes have improved. :-)

You can see the head position of the mother and the fawn. The lowered head of the mother is an aggressive stance (you can compare with the previous two images where the Sambar was chasing the dholes). You can also check the head of the fawn. The raised tail is the sign of alarm, but it is not charging and hence the head position.

I wish I would have seen this in better light. I hope that these precious wilderness continue to remain and may these dholes and sambars continue to roam these forests.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
