Gopal, a wild tiger roaming free in the Nagarahole National Park, was a victim of human-wildlife conflict when he developed a taste for livestock. Eventually he had to be rescued and shifted to a safe place to protect him from an angry mob. Gopal now resides in a forested enclosure at the Bannerghatta Tiger Sanctuary in Karnataka, managed by Wildlife SOS and the Born Free Foundation.

This peaceful photo really shows off the contrast of a Sloth bear’s face and colourful markings. The perfect profile image reminded us of the iconic Wildlife SOS Sloth bear logo. Ashok lives at the beautiful Bannerghatta Bear Rescue Centre (BBRC) near Bangalore, India.

The Mottled wood owl is unique to India and can be recognized by its brilliant red eyes and haunting calls. This beauty was spotted near our leopard centre in the biodiverse Western Ghat mountains of Maharashtra.

Sloth bears have a curious nature. Films have shown them head down, rooting around the forest floor looking for ants and termites, so singularly focused on dinner that they don't notice a nearby tiger. But generally, nothing escapes their attention. At the Bannerghatta Bear Rescue Centre, Suvarna, Cupid, Swapna, Mahi and Gomathi bear were very interested in what Wildlife SOS photographer Lenu Kannan had for them.
