Photo Feature
Small Indian civet
“The Keoladeo National Park, Bharatpur, is a special place for me. Both, during my research days and subsequent photography trips, I have always witnessed unique natural history moments here. This picture shows one such rarest of rare moments. It captures a small Indian civet ferrying its young one across an open forest glade. Sighting a civet during the day is itself rare... getting to photograph its breeding behaviour is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I was not only lucky to witness it, but also able to share it with others through this image – the main motive of my photography.”
