India Wildlife - Elephants, Rhinos, Cobras & More

A collection of some of the animals I encountered during my monsoon expedition to India in June/July 2008

Snake charmer with his Cobra.	A closer look. It was supposedly de-venomed.

Okay, that's too close... And yes, it tried to bite the camera lens.	I was told that the cobra had been de-fanged and de-venomed. Afterwards, I found out that it DID have its fangs and that the venom had only been milked from the snake. Thanks for the timely info!

Elephant... It's the only way to travel in India!	My guide Kartikeya getting a shower.

Elephants in the wild.	One very dirty buffalo.

A Rhino in the grass.	Close enough for ya?

An upset looking monkey.	More monkeys.

Not one but TWO leeches on my foot! I hate leeches.	Salt really does do a great job of removing them.
