Did you know?

The Bengal Fox, also known as the Indian Fox, is endemic to the Indian subcontinent, and parts of Nepal, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. It is a relatively small fox with an elongated muzzle, long, pointed ears, and a long, bushy tail.

About the picture

This photo of the Indian Fox was taken in Basur Kaval. As we entered the grassland, it started pouring very heavily and after waiting for about 45 minutes, the rains stopped and in the late evening when the sun was going down, this fox emerged and sat in brilliant light giving us a rare opportunity of taking his portrait.

Fun Fact

The Indian Fox is found in South India but not in the Western or Eastern Ghats.
