SNIPPET:
THE VIVID COLOURS OF INDIA’S BIRDS
The vibrantly coloured and unmistakable Common kingfisher is a regular sight at the Wildlife SOS Elephant Conservation and Care Centre. With seven subspecies, the little bird has a wide range throughout Eurasia and North Africa. The speedy avian can be seen flying low and fast on bodies of water as they hunt for fish, making a sharp whistle. What unique birds are in your area? Send us your photos!

Simba is growing into a gorgeous, maturing leopard. At just two months old, the young feline was found wandering a sugarcane field, crying out for his mother. Dehydrated and exhausted, lost and traumatised, the cub was at last spotted by a child from the village. Working closely with Forest Department officials, Wildlife SOS saved the little cub. These days, Simba doesn’t have a care in the world. We just love his beauty, energy and photogenic wild nature.
Seeing him thrive and grow at our Manikdoh Leopard Rescue Centre is bitter-sweet for us. The stunning and healthy leopard belongs in the wild, but abandoned at just 2 months old, he faced certain death and we were forced to intervene. He missed those formative years learning how to hunt and survive in the wild from mum. Semi-habituated to the caregivers who raised him and lacking skills to live in the wild, he will spend his life being cared for by Wildlife SOS.

(left to right) Erica, Ella and Lilly are BFFs at our
Elephant Rehabilitation Centre in Haryana. Recently, members of the Wildlife SOS communications team were able to pay the elephant trio a rare social visit, and were not disappointed. It was a treat to watch the geriatric elephants' playful nature shine as they stomped around relaxing in the mud. Team members Shirina Sawhney and Arinita Sandilya took these fun photos of the afternoon's antics, perfectly capturing the elephants’ close bond.

SEE THIS BEAUTIFUL PHOTO FROM A SUPPORTER
Judith Rose met this little armadillo friend on Kiawah Island, South Carolina, USA. Armadillos, meaning “little armoured one” in Spanish, are related to anteaters and sloths. The animal has an ancient giant relative called a glyptodonts that weighed as much at 2,000 kgs, or as much as some elephants!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful image, Judith!
