"Snoozing lions, Tanzania"

”It is rare to see a lion in a tree, so spotting nine was quite a coup. This pride had eaten prior to us finding them near the Seronera Research Centre in Tanzania’s Serengeti national park. We had left camp around 5.30am that day and had driven for six hours, seeing nothing but three hippos. This sighting certainly lifted our spirits.“

"An impala’s new home, Tanzania"

”This nine-week old impala was separated from its mother at birth by jackals. It raced into a manager’s tent at a Tanzanian camp and refused to leave. The manager gave it milk until it was able to graze, and after that it elected to stay around the camp, even choosing to sit under the Manyara Ranch dining table with guests each night.“

"Rhino, Mara Triangle, Kenya"

”One April morning we came across not one, but three black rhinoceroses in the Mara Triangle not far from Kichwa Tembo Lodge. This one peeled off from the pair and emerged from the thick bush to investigate us. In some areas, rhinos are under such threat from poachers and are tracked 24 hours a day by armed guards. Such measures have not yet been deemed necessary in the Mara.“

"Inquisitive lions"

”This was not the largest pride to take a shine to our remote-controlled buggy but it was certainly the most interested. We set the lens to a wide 16mm, and shot at f/5.0 for a reasonable depth of field given that the lions were going to be at different distances from the lens.“

"Elephant on two feet, Mana Pools national park, Zimbabwe"

”This is the only one place in the world you can reliably see elephants standing on their hind legs, plucking food from trees. These resourceful animals will sometimes put their front feet up on the tree trunk before pushing back and standing, at other times they will just go straight up. It’s fascinating to watch.“

"A giraffe with a thirst"

”This giraffe drank numerous times over a 10-minute period and each time it came up, it would do a double flick of its head. On the second flick the water would create a neat “S” pattern. Focusing on the animal as it rose was tricky, so in the end we set the focus to manual and waited for the giraffe to move its head up and into the frame before photographing – rapidly.“

"Land grab, Tanzania"

”As the river Katuma dries up in Katavi national park, hippos and crocodiles are forced to vie for territory.“

Kajal Aggarwal gets PDS ‘smart' ration card

Saroja Periyathambi, a 64-year-old resident of Kaamalapuram in Omalur taluk, Salem district, was taken aback when she saw the picture of a pretty young woman on her PDS smart card that she collected from the local ration shop on Tuesday. "When I collected the card I did not notice the photo. When I came home, I saw the photo was of a young woman and not mine. My grandchildren and relatives told me the photo was that of actor Kajal Agarwal. We went to the shop and informed them about this," Saroja said. Also, her date of birth was misprinted on the card.
