Ladakh is host to many high altitude FLORA & FAUNA.
I am into Wildlife photography in Ladakh and over the last 7-8 years, through umpteen field trips to different parts of Ladakh, I have manage to get an in depth experience and information about the flora and fauna of Ladakh.
Avifauna of Ladakh is my specialty and special interests.
BIRDS OF LADAKH: Ladakh is home to as many 400 different species of birds, which is almost 30% of total species found in Indian Subcontinent. Black-necked Crane is State Bird of Ladakh.
MAMMALS OF LADAKH: Ladakh also hosts about 40 different species of Mammals. Snow Leopard is State Animal of UT Ladakh.
There are any rare pollinators, amphibians, butterflies, etc.
A Wildlife Expedition to Ladakh is a life enriching experience.
During my free time I lead Wildlife Photofraphy Tours to Ladakh for special and exclusive groups / individuals.
The scientific name of the tibetan fox is actually Neocyon ferrilatus not Vulpes ferrilata, as a matter of fact, the genus Vulpes is now restricted to only the red foxes, which are now thought to be three separate species, which are the Eurasian Red Fox (Vulpes vulpes), the American Red Fox (Vulpes fulva), and the African Red Fox (Vulpes niloticus), while the other 11 extant fox species are now relocated to three distinct genera, Neocyon for the Tibetan Fox (Neocyon ferrilatus), Alopex for the Corsac Fox (Alopex corsac), the Arctic Fox (Alopex lagopus), the Swift Fox (Alopex velox), and the Kit Fox (Alopex macrotis), and Fennecus for the Bengal Fox (Fennecus bengalensis), the Blanford's Fox (Fennecus cana), the Ruppell's Fox (Fennecus rueppellii), the Fennec Fox (Fennecus zerda), the Pale Fox (Fennecus pallidus), and the Cape Fox (Fennecus chama), these eleven fox species now belonging to three genera of their own are actually believed to be more closely related to both the Bat-Eared Fox (Otocyon megalotis) and the Raccoon Dogs (genus Nyctereutes) than they are to the Red Foxes (genus Vulpes).
Brilliant! So much to love about this big cat. The stealth, the camouflage, the patience, and then it gives itself away by waving it's tail in the air. I wonder why it did that? Surely the Indian Army could look at the Snow Leopard's pattern & copy it for it's own military uniform.
Hello, Sir. I am making a n awareness video on otter species for school students. Can I use this video with due credits to you in my video? I am not a filmmaker. This is the first video that I am making. Kindly let me know if that is possible.
