Daily Photos 2nd year
At the Daily Gallery one picture, preferably taken that day; is shared with others. While that is difficult to follow (shooting everyday) I have been putting up a picture everyday and this is my SECOND year. It's been an enjoyable time viewing pictures of other members and learning new techniques and customs from different places. I think this is the best way to travel to places while sitting at home, and also making friends on the way! It has been a pleasure sharing my pictures and I thank all of you for taking the time to comment on my pictures.
Earlier galleries: First year - Critiques welcome!

Sloth bear
Shot at Ranthambhore national park
The Sloth Bear (Melursus ursinus), also known as the Labiated Bear, is an arboreal, nocturnal and insectivorous species of bear restricted to the Indian subcontinent.
They are basically shy and therefore difficult to spot but can be ferocious when disturbed. We were lucky to find this one crossing the road and then rummaging in the bushes for food (ants, termites, fruits, plant matter).

on February 18, 2010for fotoeffects:
Sloth bears do not hibernate. They make their day beds out of broken branches in trees, and will rest in caves during the wet season. Sloth bears are the most nocturnal of bears, though sows become more active in daytime when with cubs.
