Vultures, Diclofenac, Rabies, and Ecological unravelling

Kamini.
More telling than the handful of vultures we saw at Kanha was the disbelief on the part of the 'experts'. They refused to believe that what we saw were vultures.
ReplyDeleteAnd to think that we didn't give these creatures a second thought when we were younger!
