TeamGT was in Borneo, Indonesia to document the critically endangered Orangutans of Sumatra and Borneo. When we reached the forest there were more than 100 bananas left on an open platform by the forest departement for these furballs to come and enjoy their meal but little did we know that we would encounter a banana thief….A Gibbon!
From Sushi to Sake, Tokyo to Hokkiado, city to wildlife, our trip to Japan was truly fascinating. The 'Land of the Rising Sun' had little sunshine but a lot of snowfall as we visited this country in the peak of winters to document the dancing Red-Crowned Cranes, magnificent Stellar Sea-Eagles & the extremely noisy but beautiful Whooper Swans.
As the sun rises slowly on a cold winter morning, its first rays made the dry grass glisten like gold; right through it walked out two of the three sub adult cubs of the famous tigress Krishna in Ranthmabore National Park
Proboscis monkeys, which literally means Long-Nosed Monkeys are also known as Monyet Belanda (Dutch monkey), or Orang Belanda (Dutchman), as Indonesians remarked that the dutch colonizers often had similar bellies and large noses. How does this long nose help the monkey?
97% of our DNA matches with the Orangutans which means many of the behavioral traits could be similar to us, but when it comes to being naughty they are far ahead. It's a non-stop laugh riot observing their antics in the wild.
Polar Bears love the Alaskan winters and can often be seen playing and swimming in the freezing ocean.
It was late evening and we had another 10 minutes left to exit the park gate. As the driver reversed the car he suddenly stopped. Among two sambars and a peacock was beautiful Paro, neck deep in water and cooling down in the summer heat.
