Every as soon as in a even though, a completely-timed image manages to capture the ordinary in an extraordinary way. Something comparable occurred in Uttar Pradesh when a drone photographed a leopard resting in “fields of gold”, as one Twitter user place it.
Senior Indian Forest Service officer Ramesh Pandey shared the photograph of the completely-camouflaged leopard on Twitter this Friday. The overhead shot was taken in the course of an operation to rescue the leopard. It shows the animal lying in a field – but it might be really hard to spot the huge cat at initial glance.
“What do you see in this image? Zoom in and get surprised,” wrote Mr Pandey. “Use of drones helped in successful rescue operation of a leopard in Bahraich, UP recently. This interesting image has been shared by Manish Singh, DFO,” he added.
