Bandipur | The Resident Leopards | EP - 1

[@MrSoulMonk]

Great video and the fact that you were able to see the leopeard without being in a vehicle where people seem to develop extreme talkativeness when an animal comes by, is a true blessing. Thanks for sharing the great clips.

[@Shreyas.Ranganath]

Glad you enjoyed it!🙂🙏

[@Cholan4356]

Excellent narration. Brings back the fond memories of my stay in Feb 2024. Though I wasnt fortunate to get the resident leopard sighting, it was an exciting evening when the forest rest house called us out of our rooms and we folowed him with our flash lights . We could only get a fleeting glimpse of the leopard's glowing eys very close to us before it dis appeared.

[@Shreyas.Ranganath]

Thanks and good to know about your experience.....🙂

Nice vlog, waiting for the second part. I have stayed in Corbett Dhikala FRH (& some others) on multiple occasions & consider it #1 experience in Indian wildlife domain. But Bandipur FRH also seems to be quite good in terms of wildlife proximity

Awesome Shreyas! Another good one from Harini Cottage. It's a kind of eerie though adventurous not only in the night but otherwise also. Was wondering how safe it is inside your cottage specially when one of the windows centre one is broken or is it opened not sure. Please stay safe while it is adventurous ❤😊

[@Shreyas.Ranganath]

Thanks 🙂🙏 it's an old cottage but it's safe.

[@shashankhemaraju9173]

@@infocus_media - animals don't treat us the way we treat them when a leopard or an a elephant enters the city 🤷🏾‍♂️ have you ever seen elephants throwing stone at safari bus or gathering In large numbers just to scare us away?? 😊 Forest has one rule keep safe distance you mind your business and animals will mind theirs 🤷🏾‍♂️😎

Bhai hamri to colony me aajta hai Mumbai me .....forest me jaane ki jarurat nahi

[@Shreyas.Ranganath]

Haha, i understand....it's common there....

[@Judaspriest66624]

The place is void of trees, the beauty of cottage can be enhanced just by planting appropriate tree saplings, while forest officials are slaves to VIP culture, common tourists can indulge in their part of service towards nature. We live in Vietnam and while visiting India, do give something back to nature especially during eco tourism.

[@SanishShendge]

one of the balcony window's have not safety still bars easily any leopard or animal come in... unsafe at balcony when you night watching ( Harini 2 front of map fr window )

🐅🐯👍Most of the times I watch my favorite videos from places I don't logon to any account. I therefore comment only a few safe times I'm comfortable, though I watch all yours. Towards the end you comment that langurs feel safe for the night on trees. If you find time, ask forest guards some questions. If there are bears, do they climb trees in search of fruits, bird eggs, etc.? Bears have better night vision than langurs, and difficult customers. Same with leopards, but looking for langurs themselves. Kenneth mentions instances of tigers and leopards springing on to the lowest forks of tree full of monkeys / langurs who instead of staying safe where they are, panic and leap in random directions, including unsafe ones, whichever makes the mistake of falling down ends up as a meal.

[@Shreyas.Ranganath]

Thanks Sir, leopards do climb the nilgiri trees sometime to get the langurs as well...but I don't think bears climb those Nilgiri trees....but am sure they will climb other trees if they sense food....
