They love the mud bath so much so that they took up the clay soil all over their body. It’s so heartening to see these rescued elephants on their own at this nature park.

It caught that lizard with a piece of dry leaf and took some time to consume it. It was quite a sight to watch so close, it’s so hard to pick this snake among the green leaves.

So lovely to see him in action, so swift and flexible in rolling around to make the knots.

They seem to be highly skilled in weaving intricate nests and they use their full body in twisting the twigs.

He may perhaps see better with his sets of compound lenses, I guess.

It looked like a javan myna from afar but has a unique tail and plumage. Beautiful little bird and happy to have a sight of it.

Angle of the Sun rays amidst the leaves and shadows had revealed the inner veins of the flower and made the petals sparkling. I liked the effect and the colors.

I am learning more about various lives when I photograph them. I can see pollens in the wings of this butterfly.
