Jai_the_wildlifer- Fascinating Wildlife in India

It's blog number 4 now.


I have been living in India for almost a decade now. 

I have been very honoured and fortunate to have seen, a lot of wildlife here.

Animals I have seen are loads of pet dogs, cats, fish, and turtles. but in real wildlife found in national parks or reserves I have seen Snakes, Lizards, Tigers, Elephants, Crocodiles and lots of Invertebrates. 

So over the years, I have seen so much wildlife; it would be obvious to give it a 10/10, and you would be correct, India is getting the first 10/10 of all the countries because of my really clear memories. But I am yet to see leopards in India. 

Recently, during my trip to Ladakh, I saw brown bears - a mother and her cubs. When i went to Ladakh in June 2024, we went to a remote village in Drass in the Mushkoh valley. The roads were rocky and locals said that bears wandering in the village at night was a common yet terrifying occurrence. So we reached Drenmo lodge and instantly went to the bear deck where there were binoculars to spot bears. We waited for a while and then spotted one of the world's rarest bears- The Himalayan Brown Bear, which is Endangered. She was a mother with her cubs and they were adorable. Fast forward a few days and we climbed a mountain to see if we could spot the bears on foot and we did! A huge male who was climbing a smaller peak. We then walked around on the mountains, saw a dead horse and even saw an amazing Himalayan Griffin Vulture. 

Dudhwa national Park- we saw many animals in Dudhwa including a huge rat snake, a glimpse of a tiger, got charged by an elephant and rarest of all, the Asiatic One Horned Rhino who is also found in Kaziranga, Assam. But in Dudhwa you need a special pass to enter the Rhino zone. I even took photos of a rhino crossing a dirt road. Our trip to Dudhwa was short so unfortunately we couldn't see more wildlife. 

Kanha National Park- The highlight of the Kanha trip I took years ago was just a sub- adult tiger stalking a baby spotted deer, who sprinted away.

Sariska- The highlight here was seeing around 40 Mugger Crocodiles basking in the sun

jai_the_wildlifer- my trip to Uzbekistan and the wildlife in it.

  Now that I have introduced myself and how I'm into wildlife conservation and travel for solely wildlife, let me tell you about my trips around the world. So I'll go in the order of trips with the least wildlife to the most. So now the first trip I want to write about is: UZBEKISTAN—A country located in Central Asia. Their wildlife includes Corsac foxes, desert monitors, and Siberian ibex. But in the winters, it was so cold that thinking about going specifically to a wildlife park was not even in the picture, and most parks were really remote compared to where we were. So the only wildlife we really got to see were swans, ducks, and geese in a pond near our hotel and, most important of all, stray cats. They were legit almost everywhere. It was like in India there were a lot of stray dogs, but in Uzbekistan feral cats were everywhere. And all of them seemed to be used to humans being around, and most of them even enjoyed pats on their heads from passersby (including me); some o...

Jai_The_Wildlifer-- why i'm in animal conservation and my travels to raise awareness on wildlife conservation.

Hey, I am Jai..... more commonly known as jai_the_wildlifer, on my insta. The reason behind starting this blog is my intention to support wildlife conservation. I am passionate about bringing awareness to conserve and save wildlife.. It's my dream to go into zoology and support wildlife conservation. So now I travel all over the world to see local wildlife and share a few facts about them.  An app called, been: track visited countries, tells me that I've been to 14 countries and 5 continents. The continents I have not yet been to are South America and Antarctica.  I  was born in the US but currently  live  in India. I used to wanna be a firefighter or a cop till I was 5 but once, I read about snakes for fun and immediate;y got hooked on learning about animals. I read so many books on animals to learn about them. Reading piqued my interest to delve deep into the world of animals.  When I was 8, I made a new system for myself. Every year on my birthday I...
