This is a Tharu fisherman in his dugout canoe. The Tharu are the indigenous people of Nepal.
We were out on a jungle trek, in a riverine habitat with numerous islands, and signaled him over.
He gave us a ride to a nearby island.

 

 

This is a gaur, also a highly-endangered species.

 

 

Prehistoric peace.

 

 

Rhino!

 

 

An unusual sighting - three rhinos together. What’s up?

 

 

Hmmm. Now we know.

 

 

Wild nature.
The ultimate in beauty.
