<div style="text-align: justify;"><div style="text-align: center;"><em>Asian Openbill Stork at Van Vihar, Bhopal.</em> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div>More info on the species - Asian Openbill Stork is a broad-winged soaring bird, which relies on moving between thermals of hot air for sustained flight. Like all storks, it flies with its neck outstretched. It is relatively small for a stork at 68cm length. They breed near inland wetlands and build stick nest in trees, typically laying 2-6 eggs. Breeding adults are all white except for the black wing flight feathers, red legs and dull yellow-grey bill. The mandibles do not meet except at the tip, and this gives rise to the species' name. Non-breeding adults have the white of the plumage replaced by off-white. Young birds have brown tinge to the plumage. The Asian Openbill Stork, like most of its relatives, walks slowly and steadily on the ground, feeding on molluscs, frogs and large insects. <em><span style="font-size: x-small;">Text from wikipedia </span></em></div>Anilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066177483847665235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059666823062349994.post-66180121039504401912010-06-05T17:57:00.000+05:302010-06-08T03:35:30.483+05:30Tiger in Van Vihar<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTILWgqkL5z1kCnWPFC1UA8jv89WidG2DE9fGeybBxsxbxgDbBCrt1lpnSyai1VpisHGIs0FjzeP-yL8LHpEezToI4hePK5BxdCXRGSQgUmZUpP29XqQat3yByxR-XqEsUYeOZjpfCi1pu/s1600/TIger+at+VV.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" height="366" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTILWgqkL5z1kCnWPFC1UA8jv89WidG2DE9fGeybBxsxbxgDbBCrt1lpnSyai1VpisHGIs0FjzeP-yL8LHpEezToI4hePK5BxdCXRGSQgUmZUpP29XqQat3yByxR-XqEsUYeOZjpfCi1pu/s400/TIger+at+VV.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

They baptized her ‘Catreena’ because they felt that it was beautiful and silly like Katrina Kaif. When it came to Kat’s knowledge, she enquired with the Van Vihar staff and expressed her desire to adopt the cub. She offers Rs 50,000 annually for the nurturing of the cub. It is reported in media that the leopard was only 15 days old and Kat’s heart came on it.Anilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13066177483847665235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059666823062349994.post-26727194333195571132010-02-15T00:25:00.000+05:302010-02-15T00:25:46.851+05:30Indian Roller<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
