Vultures, Diclofenac, Rabies, and Ecological unravelling
How absolutely depressing.....
We did see a few vultures in Kanha, you know. Sorry for this weak defense.

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!
