Wilderness within: A close encounter with an elusive Cobra
http://rohannaik90.blogspot.com/2010/02/close-encounter-with-elusive-cobra.html
Friday, February 26, 2010. A close encounter with an elusive Cobra. I was walking back from college today as I heard a soft rustel in the. Roadside bushes. When I looked towards that direction, I was stunned. To see a huge snake. Not sure whether it was a Cobra or Rat Snake, I. Went into the bushes to have a closer look. It sensed my presence and. Started inflating its hood. I was mesmerised as this was my first very. Close encounter with a wild Cobra in the open. I was so astonished to. Disappeared....

Wilderness within: June 2012
http://rohannaik90.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 8, 2012. Pre-monsoon Showers. A treat for the leapers. The monsoons are on their way and the pre-monsoon showers have paved their path. The beginning of rains is always a treat. For people and for all sorts of life as well. But the ones who are most excited are the frogs. The croaking and leaping starts as soon as the first showers touch the earth. Or country for that matter. Then another thought came to my mind looking at the freely roaming giant bull frogs on the road. Frogs are very beaut...

Wilderness within: Trek to Mollem
http://rohannaik90.blogspot.com/2010/01/trek-to-mollem.html
Friday, January 22, 2010. It's not that I've been away from the wild for so long but I've been staying away from writing down and publishing my experiences for very long. But today, I felt like doing it and so I did. Me on the top of a rocky structure. A natural structure which looks like a properly engineered canal. The trip was full of adventure. It involved vine hanging, rock climbing, slipping and falling (ooops! Mandar gazing curiously at the Giant Squirel. A dead spider or probably a moult. I am a ...

Wilderness within: On the ocassion of the World Environment Day
http://rohannaik90.blogspot.com/2010/06/on-ocassion-of-world-environment-day.html
Saturday, June 5, 2010. On the ocassion of the World Environment Day. With advancing urbanization and so called development, people are going far from nature. They say environmentalist are supposed to care of nature. I only ask them a question - "Are environmentalist the only ones who get benefited by nature? Are they the only ones who breath oxygen, drink clean water, use furniture made out of trees, eat food and use other articles directly or indirectly derived from natural resources? Look around you&#...

Wilderness within: Nocturnal treat with awesome sightings
http://rohannaik90.blogspot.com/2010/08/nocturnal-treat-with-awesome-sightings.html
Wednesday, August 18, 2010. Nocturnal treat with awesome sightings. You can see the eye shining, and if you increase your brightness, you can see the faint white quills in the back. I was overwhelmed by so many sightings in a very short duration. I finally managed to get out of all that and completed my survey. Here are some shots. A Skittering Frog (Click to enlarge). A Skittering Frog along with the tadpole of a Bull Frog (Click to enlarge). Indian Tree Frog (Click to enlarge). Is it in paytale? I am a...

Wilderness within: A glimpse of the monsoon in Mollem
http://rohannaik90.blogspot.com/2010/06/glimpse-of-monsoon-in-mollem.html
Friday, June 18, 2010. A glimpse of the monsoon in Mollem. The monsoons are here and I couldn't wait to take the full advantage of this fact. Me and Mandar set out a little late for Mollem on 15th June. Inspite of all our previous visits to Mollem, it has something new to offer every time I visit and this time was special as this was our first visit to Mollem after this year's monsoon arrived. So we had a lot of expectations and off course, we were not disappointed but in fact got 'Ummeed se Dugnaa'.

Wilderness within: Urban Amphibians
http://rohannaik90.blogspot.com/2010/06/urban-amphibians.html
Friday, June 11, 2010. Amphibians are said to be one of the most habitat specific organisms. Many of them are known as indicator species as they are found only in certain type of conditions and thus indicate presence of such conditions around them. But, on the contrary, several other species have adapted themselves to a variety of habitats including areas which are heavily disturbed by human activities.
