Often, he shares images or videos of different incredible animals found in India and asks people to identify the creatures.

“We think it is a Eurasian lynx, Parveen. How wonderful to see,” wrote a Twitter user. “Cougar?” asked another. “Puma?” guessed a third.
Could you guess which animal is captured in the video? If not, this tweet by the IFS officer may help. While replying to his own post, he also shared the answer. “It’s a Himalayan Lynx. One of the wild cat species found in India. A beautiful and rare creature. Found in Leh-Ladakh. Others found in this zone are Snow leopard and Pallas cat,” he tweeted.
