Bannerghatta National Park Big Cats In Trouble

by Anwin in Animals, Bangalore, Cats, Flickr, Hobbies, Pics, Snakes, Trip     tags: , , , , , , , , ,       7 Comments

Poor guys, they seem to have got some bug or something. It has been a sad week with 5 big cats dying in the past week at Bangalore’s Bannerghatta National Park or Biological Park. Two of them were old Bengal tigers and a White Tiger who, officials say, has died of an almost 3 months battle with kidney disease. And another, a cub which probably died of salmonella and E.coli. Really really sad.

Read more here and here.

Anyway, I feel someone has supplied real bad chicken meat there. Hmm…

Some of my old friends (who I hope are still running around):

He was quite majestic looking and not at all bothered about people around.

This guy was a bit uneasy around us. He was lying under the shades when we came and proceeded to get into the man made pool for a quick dip.

This guy was totally cool. All pictures were taken this April – on the 24th to be precise.

Some other pictures I liked:

One of the truly free guys. He was on the rampage and fighting turf wars all around us on the footpaths and on the trees.

Mother and two baby monkeys (Rhesus monkeys) watching out for the big guy in the previous picture.

And two butterflies ‘going at it’ at the butterfly park adjacent to BBP ;-) .

Please do check out my flickr set too.

The High Heavens And Alien Abductions

by Anwin in Bangalore, Humor, Pics, Story     tags: , , , , ,       6 Comments

Trippy as it sounds that is our current experience at the hospital. Nafisa was taken into the OT on Friday August 27th before the sun showed its face. At 6 28 am baby Ayden was born. And that story can be read at Edin’s and at Ayden’s. This story is different.

After a couple of days Nafisa described the experience as an alien abduction with aliens in green masks around strange out-worldly equipments gawking at this strange human who carries another little human in her stomach. And boy did she trip? As Renie asked rightly where can we get this narcotic in the open market? (in all seriousness :-) ).

The second experience is that baby Ayden has been kept under observation in another strange equipment radiating blue light under orders from the high commander and strictly enforced by the sister brotherhood.

The pictures to prove the second.

I rest my case.

P.S: I hope to change the template on my blog one last time without changing anything in the theme. I am just not good at css. Damn!
