Ultra-marathon runner Munish Jauhar spotted a large rock python near Sukhna Lake in India. The python was basking in the weak sunlight and remained still while Jauhar took pictures. The python inhabits a bush jungle strip near a pond, where it has a ready supply of prey. In a separate incident, a squirrel successfully scared off a changeable hawk eagle that had been preying on other animals in a jungle.
Of these, the most common species at Chandigarh’s Sukhna Lake was the Indian spot-billed duck with 39 sightings, followed by 22 jungle babbler and 18 common moorhen and great cormorant each.
