As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.

fantumfan ,
Like some of our pet dogs, the snow leopard also eats grass.It probably keeps their digestive system in shape.
Interestingly the snow leopard is the only Big Cat which can not roar.Their vocal chords are just not as well developed as the other big cats.

Hi Aftab nice photo.
This lizard is known as The Oriental Garden Lizard, Eastern Garden Lizard or Changeable Lizard.

Prashant,

You managed to capture the image of the ever elusive Snow Leopard! I am jealous. Lucky you, man.

Vikas, This is the first time I saw the photo of a Cotton Teal,a perching duck.


Thank you all for these very interesting photos.

Well Vikram,
Let me be honest with you.

There are two ways of doing it.
1. Spend a year in Nanda Devi National Park and you MIGHT get a glimpse of the elusive cat.
and
2. Go to the Gangtok Zoo and take a nice close up.(along with the Red Panda)
Like I did.Ha ha ha :D

This a kind of Red-headed Rock Agama. I found from Google searching.
It is a male Blanford's Rock Agama in the breeding season.

en.wikipedia.org
Blanford's Rock Agama (Psammophilus blanfordanus) is an agamid lizard found in Peninsular India and is named after William Thomas Blanford (1832–1905), member of the Geological Survey of India. It is one of two species in the genus and is found mainly to the east of the distribution of Psammophilus…

Hi Guys, ever since I moved to Mumbai 3 years ago, I have been tramping the forests and wetlands around getting in some great "Shikar" with camera, here are some trophies. Will do some more later.
