A large part of Kota is covered with forest. Hundreds of kilometers of forest here is a boon for animals. Wildlife is increasing rapidly here. Panthers and bears are found in abundance here, which have also turned towards the city many times. On the other hand, wildlife expert and photographer Aadil Saif said that wildlife is usually not easily visible.
He told that sometimes such moments are also seen, when both the scenery of nature and the wildlife are seen together. There are bears in the forest on both the banks of the Chambal river. It took him five years to take a photo of the natural beauty of Chambal and the movement of the bear there. Although he has many photos, but some moments are special.
He told that bears are seen more at night. That’s why it becomes a bit difficult to capture it on camera. Bears are nocturnal creatures, which come out more at night. They go out in search of food. Their main food is termites, small insects, berries, tendu fruits and honey. They have good sense of smell. It can smell food from several kilometers away.
