Scare at 15000 ft ASL 🐺 While looking for snow leopard in Khunjerab NP last evening,bumped into this ominous looking Himalayan Grey Wolf devouring full grown Yak Devastated when I learned from accompanying WL watcher that it wd cost 250000 to a poor farmer Wild can be cruel

Afghan Urial - one of the rare & secluded wildlife species; it's real home is Turkmenistan & Afghanistan - also found in far off pockets of Torghar (Qila Saifullah) Every bone & joint ached after travel in boulder strewn country but worth all pains once I saw the glorious guy

I first fell in love ❤️ with the iconic "Rann of Kuch" - when I was posted as Assistant Commissioner (trainee) in Tharparkar, late 90s I was attached with loveable Jessa Ram (Tehsildar) & explored wild beauty of Marsh Ecosystems of Thar Can't love enough it's Pelicans & Cranes

My happiest day recording (perhaps first ever) "signature whistling" by Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphin🐬near Keti Bandar (Second 6 & 16) I was on Sindh Forest Dept boat for routine mangrove inspection when Hampbback Dolphin decided to swim along our boat & 🎶her whistles ❤️💜

When your job is working with the critically endangered Himalayan Brown Bears amidst natural carpets of " Lavender🪻" & "Forget me not 🌺" flowers at 14500 ft ASL in the Deosai wonderland ❤️💜 of GB (No dream job in the world will ever be half as magical ✨🪄)

I am at mouth of Indus Delta Here the mighty Indus will soon empty its sorrowful burden of "Floods 2025" into Arabian Sea(Kharo Chhan) Combined Waters from Indus,Jhelum, Chenab,Ravi,Sutlej Humpback Dolphin,Kite,Mangrove & Fishermen ve seen this for millennia Feeling humbled

Poor reporting from @BBCUrdu (My wishes & Prayer for speedy recovery of the singer) But pl note🙏 Deosai is home of Himalayan Brown Bear esp in night - not an overnight stay place for humans esp Sept as hibernation starts Brown bears avoid humans even their smell Respect🐻

Who blinks first Hiding in wildlife watcher hut at Khunjerab,I saw a massive Himalayan Ibex intently looking at something;turning round,it was Snow Leopard gazing at Ibex frm distance A tense minute passed as my heart pounded madly & Snow Leopard retreated Ibex won the day🏆

Taunsa Barrage on River Indus braces itself to receive massive flood waters - this place is a Ramsar Site and Wildlife Sanctuary with a big pond area regulating irrigation water supply to millions of hectares of agriculture land It's a favourite habitat for Blind Indus Dolphin

My Forester weekend🌲 🐆 Took up a jungle track in a Chir forest early in the morning to reach Blue Pine forest after 3 hrs En route, disturbed a few Kaleej Pheasants besides tracking a male leopard for half a mile Now in an alpine meadow,devouring yummy berries & 🌽 Life💕

Since my last post generated a lot of speculation about the animal chasing Urial in Salt Range - whether it's Caracal, Wolf, jungle cat or wild dog or even cross breed from wild - I share another picture from the same place;same animal I leave it to you to make informed guess🙏

Flooding in Indus Basin is a millennia old phenomenon but Nature also created "Riverine Forests" to reduce flood damage & benefit from more water Most Riverine Forest sadly destroyed in recent decades Pics r from yesterday showing Riverine Jungle(M/Garh) reducing flood damage

When Rivers go Berserk 😡 This is the Tawi River in the last winter as it enters Sialkot district - Sedate, slow moving & mellow. I was there to photograph "Bar headed Geese" Scared & baffled after seeing super flood visuals from the same Tawi River yesterday

Islamgarh Cholistan - a remote corner of iconic desert in bloom after monsoon rains. Kirir flowers & migratory Tiliar It was here that Caracal was seen stalking Chinkara a few months back-Recent GIB sighting also reported by local wildlife staff Potential 2nd GIB Sanctuary

Amazing, magical news shared by Secretary Wildlife Punjab,Mudassir Sb - Indian Wolf sighted in Salt Range 4 yrs ago,I saw a wolf chasing Urial in Jhelum but this is first definitive picture evidence of Wolf presence in salt range in decades (Photo credit, Mr Tahir Pnjb WL Dept)
