Mongoose

At Kabini, Harsha has made a very nice cozy hide in front of a small water pool inside a well wooded area. On a good hot day, you will see lot of birds coming down there to drink or to have a bath. This mongoose is one of the mammals that comes to this hole to drink water every hour or so. It’s amazing how close you can get to animals, sitting in the hide. This mongoose had no clue we were just a meter away from it and at one point, the mongoose came so close, I could not even focus on the animal.
