Golden Jackal, Ranthambore

One of the first sightings in the trip, the Jackal was on the run and probably heading back to its den. It went a little further away from where we saw first and then as typical of jackal turned around to look at our vehicle.

Forest Sentry

Hanuman Langur’s are one of most widespread langurs of the Indian subcontinent. They are also called as the gray langurs. The harsh bark like sound made by adult and subadult males when they sight a predator like Tiger or Leopard on the move acts as a warning call for other animals. Since they sit high on the trees and are able to alert other animals of predator movement we call them as the forest sentry.
