Photo of the week

Indian Grey Mongoose (Herpestes edwardsii) commonly known as Nevlaa in North India. According to IUCN, it comes under the species of least concern category, but several reports suggest that illegal trade of their hair for use in the manufacturing of paint brushes and shaving brushes pose a significant threat to the species.
