Dudhwa Tiger Reserve

During Moth Week, Dudhwa’s humid night came alive as cicadas emerged, unfolding crystal wings in the dark. Their chorus blended with frogs, turning the forest into a living monsoon symphony. A quiet night, yet nature’s renewal was loud. PC- @vipinsaini_01 @moefcc @WWFINDIA

Spotted deer & langur are bossom friends, both look out for each others back. Besides keeping eye on predators from tree top, langurs are casual foragers & so drop lots of fresh twigs for deer to eat. Deer have excellent sense of smell. @ntca_india @DudhwaTR @rameshpandeyifs

The month of June is the fawning season for Swamp deer, & the fawns keep close to mums and are at ease in the swampy waters from day one. Here is a large herd of Swamp deer with many new fawns in Jhaddi lake in Kishanpur WLS, safe from tigers catch. @DudhwaTR @rameshpandeyifs
