That tiny fold on a wild dog’s ear isn’t a flaw—it’s Henry’s pocket. A small adaptation that may help with sound precision and ear protection. Nature fine-tunes survival in details we overlook—just like the species we risk losing if we stop paying attention. @bhlab_india @wii_india @GobindsagarBha1 @rameshpandeyifs @ntca_india @IBCA_official @SPYadavIFS @piyushajagtap @MahaForest

Indian wolf now classified as “Vulnerable” on the IUCN Red List
This alarming upgrade reflects mounting threats like habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict & genetic dilution.
Act now: protect, restore, and coexist. #Conservation #SaveWolves
@IUCN
First-ever IUCN Red List assessment for the Indian Wolf (Canis lupus pallipes)!
Now listed as Vulnerable (A2ae; C1) — with only 2,877–3,310 mature individuals left in the wild.
One of India’s most enigmatic predators stands on the brink — the time to act is now.

@ShashankNagara4 forays into the wild side of the garbage dumps. Showcases how mismanagement in the protected area periphery may alter tolerance of wild ungulates to each other and livestock. Which may increase the risk of zoonotic transmission. @wildwithwolves @shivam_wolf

For the first time in India, a camera collar has captured the world through the eyes of a wild leopard.
Deployed as part of a research initiative, this groundbreaking footage offers an intimate glimpse into the life and landscape of one of India’s most elusive big cats. A remarkable step forward in blending science, technology, and conservation for deeper understanding and coexistence. @wii_india @moefcc @vrtiwari1 @rameshpandeyifs @SPYadavIFS @ntca_india @IBCA_official @GobindsagarBha1 @Dr_RajeshGopal @bhlab_india @Kumar9Ankit @shaheerkhan @MahaForest

I have very little experience with this large cat. The information that I have comes from reading books, making observations, talking to locals, and consulting other professionals. There is a fascinating tiger story to be told every day. – at India
