EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a rare and extraordinary moment in the wilds of Kaziranga National Park, Assam, India. In this stunning image, an adult Jungle Myna (Acridotheres fuscus fumidus) can be seen fearlessly feeding on the wounds of a live but paralysed Wild Water Buffalo (Bubalis arnee), which was wounded by an Indian Tiger (Panthera tigris tigris). The scene is both mesmerizing and unsettling as it showcases the intricate web of life in the animal kingdom. The Jungle Myna, a passerine bird known for its scavenging behavior, has taken advantage of this unique opportunity to find sustenance amidst chaos. As we observe this remarkable interaction between predator and prey, we are reminded of the delicate balance that exists in nature. The tiger's powerful attack has left its victim vulnerable and unable to defend itself against opportunistic feeders like the Jungle Myna. The image also serves as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of wildlife in their quest for survival. Despite being paralysed, the buffalo becomes an unwitting provider for other species within its ecosystem. In this single frame captured by FLPA/Neil Bowman, we witness not only a fascinating display of natural behavior but also gain insight into the complex dynamics at play within Kaziranga National Park. It is a reminder that every creature plays a vital role in maintaining harmony within our planet's diverse ecosystems.
