A Ditch Jewel Dragonfly followed a venomous Russell's Viper swimming in deep waters, both curious about each other. I photographed this scene in Kumbhargaon, near Pune, India.
On our first visit to Kumbhargaon, a well-known birding area, my wife and I expected to see birds but were surprised to find a Russell's Viper swimming instead, something we didn't know they could do / Canon EOS 7D Mark II / Canon EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM
This photo shows a gharial sunbathing on the Chambal River's banks in the National Chambal Sanctuary near Dholpur, on the Rajasthan-Madhya Pradesh border in India. Legend has it that the river is cursed, originating from tales of animal sacrifice in the Mahabharata, an epic about royal family battles. Consequently, locals refrain from conducting religious rituals or polluting it with offerings, unlike the Ganges. The river's clean waters provide a sanctuary for endangered species like gharials, Red-crowned turtles, Ganges river dolphins, and Indian skimmers / / Nikon D500 / Nikkor 500MM F/5.6E PF ED VR
