This Ark, the Indian Rhinoceros, was almost lost till stringent conservation measures brought them back from the brink of extinction. The Cattle Egret hitches a ride on a golden afternoon in the rays of the setting sun in Pobitora Wildlife Sanctuary, India.

Gorgeous light Pralay. The moment captured, mouth open browsing, and the Egret are icing on the cake.
Make your life spectacular!
