| The rule of the jungle is Survival, survival & survival... |
Last month I went to a renowned national park in North Bengal with my friends. Though my friends are not enthusiastic wildlife lovers but still they decided to spent one of their valuable days of leave for my cause. We borrowed a park vehicle and went for a late afternoon stroll in the park.I can assure you one thing that those who feel wildlife is not their cup of tea will still be lured to see the wild animals in their belongings. We were looking everywhere to see any possible sign of life but in vain as we could see nothing except few birds that flew from the branches while we patrol. After a few moment we reached a frequently used animal track. We decided to turn off our cars engine and sat there for a while. Suddenly, I saw a black faced Langur sitting in the shed of a tree edging the ground for every possible scrap, oblivious to any possible danger as the Langur was hungry.In the mean while a peacock landed to the ground from the nearby tree possibly tracking insects that were crawling on the forest floor. The Langur was sitting in the tree shed quietly observing the Peacock which was so busy in its search for insects that it hardly noticed the Langur. I told my friends to keep quiet anticipating something interesting to happen, my friends got excited as they thought that even the Langur was amazed to see the beauty of the Peacock and was appreciating in its own way. Next thing I remember was that the Langur pounced on the Peacock which has to react immediately in order to save it's life.It was a lucky escape and the Peacock lived to die another day.We were happy to see the drama but definitely the Langur was not.
