Snow leopards, often called "mountain ghosts," are notoriously difficult to spot due to their blending abilities and secluded mountain homes.

Dholes, a lesser-known predator than tigers and leopards, are elusive creatures that intrigue wildlife enthusiasts.

Great Indian Bustard

A rare and critically endangered bird, it's one of the heaviest flying creatures, adding to its enigmatic allure.

Malabar Giant Squirrel

This vibrant, multi-coloured giant squirrel is rarely seen, living high in the canopy of dense forests.

Ganges River Dolphin
