A young Sri Lankan elephant enjoying a quiet moment with its leafy lunch in the wild. These gentle giants are a subspecies of the Asian elephant, and watching this calf feed was both heartwarming and humbling. Photographed during my journey through Sri Lanka's rich natural landscapes — moments like these are reminders of how precious and vulnerable our wildlife truly is.
Spotted this stunning Green Pit Viper (Trimeresurus trigonocephalus) during a walk through the lush Kanneliya Rainforest in Sri Lanka. A true master of camouflage — vibrant, silent, and still.
This species is venomous, though not among Sri Lanka’s deadliest snakes. Its hemotoxic venom can cause swelling, tissue damage, and pain, but fatalities are rare with proper treatment.
It’s often overlooked, blending seamlessly into its surroundings — striking only when threatened. A beautiful reminder of how wild and raw nature can be.
A heartwarming moment captured in the lush canopy of Sinharaja Rainforest, Sri Lanka. This Purple-faced langur (Semnopithecus vetulus) and her baby were a stunning reminder of the raw beauty and emotional connections in the wild.
Endemic to Sri Lanka and classified as Endangered, these remarkable primates are usually shy and elusive, making this encounter all the more special. Watching the bond between mother and baby langur unfold in their natural habitat was a truly magical experience!
Sinharaja continues to amaze with its diverse wildlife and incredible biodiversity.
Nestled in the lush biodiversity of Sri Lanka's Sinharaja Rainforest, this Hump-nosed Lizard (Lyriocephalus scutatus) paused just long enough for a portrait. Endemic to Sri Lanka, this remarkable species is known for its distinctive bulbous snout and vivid green coloration, helping it blend effortlessly into its tropical surroundings. It’s usually calm and slow-moving, making it a delight to observe — and photograph — in its natural habitat.
This encounter was one of those magical moments where everything aligned in the wild.
Sinharaja never disappoints.
