Animal India

A Colubridae family snake skin on the wall hole of an abandoned house at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on 11/05/2023. Snakes shed their skin to allow for further growth and to remove parasites that may have attached to their old skin. On hot summer days, snakes seek out shade and shelter like tall grass or beneath covers like rocks, shady trees, decks, or porches to stay cool. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)

    Yellow Paper-wasp Nest - Animal India

    Yellow Paper-wasp Nest - Animal India

    The yellow paper wasp (Polistes olivaceus), also known as tattaiyas, is recognized for its strikingly vivid yellow coloration, an uncommon characteristic among wasp species. Their unique thermal regulatory system enables them to thrive in various climates. The Indian yellow paper wasp lays 10-20 eggs after establishing a nest. The eggs take about 6.5 days to develop into immature stages, and the entire colony cycle lasts about 270 days. Yellow paper wasps play a significant role in the ecosystem as pollinators and by preying on certain insect pests. They construct paper-like nests that resemble umbrellas. The yellow paper wasp has a stinger at its tail, which can sting people. However, it is not aggressive and rarely attacks humans unless it feels threatened. Nevertheless, it should be treated with caution as its sting is very painful and can cause redness and swelling. The photo of the yellow paper wasp nest was taken in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on May 16, 2024. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)

          Golden Jackals Cubs - Canis Aureus - Animal India

          Two wild golden jackal (Canis aureus) cubs are venturing from the forest to search for food in the Tehatta area of West Bengal, India, on May 15, 2024. They are occasionally being seen playfully chasing birds or monitor lizards for hunting. The golden jackal, the largest of the jackals, is resembling a small wolf but has a comparatively more slender build, shorter legs, and a shorter tail. The jackals' habitat is being reduced due to lack of food and shelter, and the pressure of urbanization.
