Crested hawk - eagle
Sighted on: 26.Apr.2023
A Crested hawk-eagle was sighted perched high on a barren tree. It was lit by the setting sun making for the perfect photo opportunity. The Crested hawk-eagle relies on its fantastic eyesight to home in on its target, which it overpowers by stealth and sheer power. It is also, in my opinion, one of the best-dressed predators in Kabini.

Jumping Spider
Sighted on: 28.Apr.2023
Did you know that Jumping spiders have four sets of eyes? Two large eyes are right in front, with a smaller eye on either side. Then, on the top of their heads, jumping spiders have two medium-sized eyes and two smaller eyes. And those eight adorable eyeballs aren't just for staring at you. We were lucky to see one individual during the Nature Walk.

Albino Spotted Deer
Sighted on: 29.Apr.2023
An albino Spotted Deer fawn was sighted during the morning safari. Albinism is a condition caused by the congenital absence of melanin, resulting in partial or complete loss of pigmentation. As a result, their skin tone is much paler compared to other members of their species. While not common, a few instances of albinism in Spotted Deer have been recorded over the years in Kabini.
