Very Nice Mr Puttaraju ji... Very inspiring... I have seen red panda but not the red squirrel.. thanks for the pic...
what a co-incidence... just this afternoon.. I remarked to my driver as we sat near a crossing and a banyan tree and its aerials roots all tangled etc where something reminded me of a squirrel.. that we had not seen any squirrels driving around this city full of trees where we used to see a lot of them...what he shared shocked me .. he proceeded to tell me in some details how squirrel meat is very expensive and local people all feed and make the squirrels less fearful and then catch and eat them or sell the meat and skins... HOW GHASTLY... as the Kol gets back to official work I am going to find out if there is any law that protects the wild animals, squirrels are certainly not domesticated... and the migratory birds need to be protected too here in Bengal... many villagers just eat and empty out water bodies of migrating water birds... annihilating entire families of ducks etc.... and if there is no law protecting them there ought to be one... usha di ================ On Dec 31, 9:12 pm, Balkar Singh <balkara...@gmail.com> wrote: > Congrts Nice Catch and writeup.
