Like much of India, the Kotagiri hills are full of Monkeys. Here's one catching some sun on the balcony of my hostel bedroom. You have to ensure the doors were constantly shut or the monkeys would be inside on the hunt! Taken with the Sigma 135mm Art lens.

A pair of Barasingha or Swamp Deers at Jhilmil Jheel Conservation Reserve, part of Rajaji National Park, Haridwar, Uttarakhand.
Barasingha is an extinction-prone deer species that is now found in small pockets in only four states of India. People usually call every deer with fully grown antlers - usually the common Spotted Deers - as Barasingha. This is incorrect, as Barasingha is a separate species and rarely sighted.
The small herd at Jhilmil Lake was only discovered in 2005. According to a local friend who is also a forest guard and accompanied us to the lake, this herd is severely threatened as the lake water is depleting due to industrialisation on the peripheries of the reserve.
A rock gecko at stream near Gone Fishing Cottages in Tirthan Valley, Himachal.
As we walked by the rock that the lizard was sunbathing on, it rushed into a crevice for security. This is their usual behaviour. Expecting it to reemerge at the same spot once it sensed that I had walked past, I kept my camera ready, while looking back as I continued to step away. When the peek-a-boo moment came, I was ready to take this shot.
A newborn foal running with his mother at Horse Shoe Cafe, Ludhiana, Punjab.
This was the first time that the week old foal was let out in the pen. And it was early lessons for the young one as the mother was immediately prodding him to gallop around the pen with her.
Feral cat in Shanag village near Manali, Himachal.
The cat was scavenging on leftover food left outside the cottages of a resort. I was the intruder in the cat's world, and the look conveyed it in no uncertain terms.

The mongoose's prowess in fighting and hunting venomous snakes stems from its ability to: swiftly and acrobatically avoid snake bites, and resist the venom in the unlikely scenario of being bitten.
Smooth-Coated Otter swimming in the lake at Harike Wildlife Sanctuary, Punjab.
This was shot during sunset hour. The otter was out swimming with its head visible in a playful manner.
Smooth-Coated Otter swimming in the lake at Harike Wildlife Sanctuary, Punjab.
This otter hunts in groups, and usually more than one of them can be seen swimming about the lake waters. While for us human observers they would seem to be playing in the water, in actual most of the time they spend in water is for catching fish, which is their preferred diet.
Smooth-coated Otter swimming in the lake of Harike Wildlife Sanctuary, Punjab.
A resident of large inland water bodies, this is a cute and extremely shy mammal, spending most of its time in water hunting for aquatic prey. It has been declared a vulnerable species due to continued habitat loss and poaching.

This was my first clear sighting of an Otter, which fulfilled a wish I've carried for a long time, especially during visits to wetlands in Punjab.
Javan - or Small Indian - Mongoose in Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana.
This mongoose is commonly found in North India, and is famed for its skills in fighting snakes. It has been introduced in many regions of the world as a primitive pest control solution.
