Indian Grey Mongoose Mother

Indian Grey Mongoose Mother

A wild Indian grey mongoose mother brings her cubs into the forest to teach them how to hunt and eat. While the cubs are trying to eat or play, the mother looks around with curious eyes or sometimes stands up defensively with two legs. The Indian grey mongoose is a mongoose species native to the Indian subcontinent and West Asia, found in open forests, scrublands, and cultivated fields, often close to human habitation. It is bold and inquisitive but wary, seldom venturing far from cover. Its prey includes rodents, snakes, birds' eggs and hatchlings, lizards, and a variety of invertebrates. It breeds throughout the year. This photo was taken at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on July 26, 2023. (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.
