The wild isn't always beautiful. It is always real.
A Dhole battling severe mange in Kabini. Nature is breathtaking, yet unforgiving. Every scar speaks of survival, and every step is a testament to resilience.
Note:These are powerful and emotionally moving photographs of a Dhole (Indian Wild Dog) that appears to be suffering from severe mange (likely sarcoptic mange), evident from the extensive hair loss, thickened skin, and emaciated appearance. Despite its condition, it is still with the pack—a reminder of both resilience and the harsh realities of the wild.
