Russell Viper This snake can grow to a maximum length of 166 cm (5.5 ft.) and averages about 120 cm (4 ft.) on mainland Asian populations, although island populations do not attain this size. The head is flattened, triangular and distinct from the neck. The snout is blunt, rounded and raised. The nostrils are large, The supranasal has a strong crescent shape and separates the nasal from the nasorostral anteriorly. The rostral is as broad as it is high. The color pattern consists of a deep yellow, tan or brown ground color, with three series of dark brown spots that run the length of its body. Each of these spots has a black ring around it, the outer border of which is intensified with a rim of white or yellow. The dorsal spots, which usually number 23–30, may grow together, while the side spots may break apart. The head has a pair of distinct dark patches, one on each temple, together with a pinkish, salmon or brownish V or X pattern that forms an...

Indian king cobra The skin of this snake is olive-green, tan, or black, and it has faint, pale yellow cross bands down the length of the body. The belly is cream or pale yellow, and the scales are smooth. Juveniles are shiny black with narrow yellow bands (can be mistaken for a banded krait, but readily identified with its expanded hood). The head of a mature snake can be quite massive and bulky in appearance, though like all snakes, they can expand their jaws to swallow large prey items; it has two short, fixed fangs in the front of the mouth which channel venom into the prey like hypodermic needles. The male is larger and thicker than the female. The average lifespan of a wild king cobra is about 20 years.

The Indian Spotted Eagle is about 60 cm in length and has a wingspan of 150 cm. It is broad-headed, with the widest mouth of all spotted eagles. This species has a lighter coloration overall compared to its relatives, with a darker iris that makes the eyes appear darker than the plumage (rather than the other way around as in the northern spotted eagles). Adults can be told apart from the Greater Spotted Eagle by its lighter color, darker eyes, and habitat preferences .After about three or four months the young birds are glossy brown with the tips of the head and neck feathers being creamy and giving a spotted appearance. The upper tail coverts are light brown with white giving a barred appearance. The median coverts have large creamy spots. After about eighteen months the bird mounts and becomes a darker shade and has less spots. Some older juveniles, unlike the lesser and Greater species, are not strongly spotted at all, making the common name somewhat misleading,...

Vine Snake The green vine snake is diurnal and mildly venomous. The reptile normally feeds on frogs and lizards using its binocular vision to hunt. They are slow moving, relying on camouflaging as a vine in foliage. The snake expands its body when disturbed to show a black and white scale marking. Also, they may open their mouth in threat display and point their head in the direction of the perceived threat. There is a widespread myth in parts of southern India, that the species uses its pointed head to blind its human victims. The species is viviparous, giving birth to young that grow within the body of the mother, enclosed within the egg membrane.

It has greyish-brown upper parts, white lower part, short dark-yellowish legs and feet, and a bill with a pale base and dark tip. In winter plumage, they are duller and have more conspicuous barring on the wings, though this is still only visible at close range. Juveniles are more heavily barred above and have buff edges to the wing feathers. Really Beautiful bird

This snap makes me so emotional. I don’t know why? So some lines from my heart came out…. तुफानो से डर के भागता रहा मै पर जब भी रुका खुदको बदलो से घिरा पाया | है रोशनी कोसो दूर मुजसे देखाजबभी खुदको ख्वाबो मै दफ़न पाया | चाहा जिसे भी दिल से उसे अपने आप से बहुत दूर पाया | जिंदगी मे पाने कि चाहत मे जिंदगी को कम पाया| खोने कि आदत ने हमे ज़माने से जुदा पाया |

From “Marbles” we can see world in different angles. We can change marbles, if we want to change angle. In real life we cant. We have to leave life as it is. But at least we can try to change our life to get perfect angle & color as we want. At the time of shooting, I am trying to realize what I am going to change?

Beautiful flower & his beauty. खोईश हें कि आप रहो मेरी जिंदगी मे खुश्बुओ कि तरह हमेशा , मै भी बरसाता रहू शबर इसी तरह हमेशा | कहते हें खोईशओ का कोई एक्तियर नही होता , होते तो हें ये बहुत पर साकार कोई नही होता | लगती हें चोट बहुत गहरी , होश मे आने के बाद जब कोई साथ नही होता | रहते हें हम इन फूलो कि तरह , जिनका शाम के बाद नामोनिशान नही हो ता |
