Today, a dream comes true ! The Elephant whisperers of India get a village dedicated to them at Theppakadu Elephant Camp in the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve. India's first Mahout Village has 44 houses dedicated to every Mahout and Kavadi taking care of our precious elephants. Constructed at a cost of Rs 5.6 Crores by the TN Forest Department the village has lanes named after our elephants. From the design of the house to a basketball court to kids playground the village has been built in consultation with Mahouts. It is beautifully lit by solar lights and carefully protected with a solar fence. Inaugurated by CM Thiru @Mkstalin the village is an ode to our dedicated Mahouts and cavadies for their selfless service.

So proud of @ConzRobin for winning for this stunning image. This image was taken in the Nilgiris and shows the interconnectedness of life in those mountains.
Next up is #WPY60's Urban Wildlife category. 🐅
Robin Darius Conz (Germany) was following this tiger as part of a documentary team filming the wildlife of India's Western Ghats. He used a drone to watch the tiger explore its territory before it settled in this spot.

Do you know #elephant family is all women group. Made of #mother, #aunts, #grandmother & all other #ladies. Most of the times Male leave herd early. Kids are looked by all female elephants in herd not only mother. Most experienced female makes all decision for family. #WomensDay
The brave mother elephant fought till her last breath .Four experienced veterinarians and experts tried their best to revive her but the battle to save her life was lost today. We are heartbroken but something miraculous and magical happened with her 60 days old baby elephant.
