Nilgiri marten

Martes gwatkinsii

Description:

Very rarely sighted arboreal weasel like mammal

Habitat:

Forests at mid to higher elevations of the south Western Ghats

Notes:

He was peeping down at us from a high perch on a very tall Bombax tree in the forests of the Periyar Tiger Reserve at Thekkady, Kerala. How I wish my camera had a better zoom! Complete set of photos at: http://blog.travelpod.com/travel-blog/in...
