Siva A N     wrote, @21-10-2008 14:26:48 Wow...unbelievable. That too on a Trek. What an experience it would have been. Was this on a trek behind the camp?

Santosh Saligram     wrote, @21-10-2008 14:28:32 Excellent stuff, mate. The posture is most curious. :-) I still wonder what it was down there that kept her rivetted, and whether our hunt strategy hypothesis is indeed veracious. Good for us, anyhow. :-) And what an adorable cat! Phew, I can never forget those ninety minutes spent stalking, watching and photographing her. What a sweetheart she turned out to be! It is equally incredible to me that it happened on a trek, of all things! Just shows that out in the jungle, you never know.
