we were off to Bharatnur,

up and out on the lake at 5:3u

watch the sun come up and to
see and hear the thousands of
birds awaken to the dnv. I'm
not the keenest bird watcher
in the world, but must admit it
was an impressive exper
ience. This was quite a large
park to explore and we saw
lots of game, samhnr deer
with racks of horns like
reindeer, spotted antelope,
pips, snakes, and lots of

The next riav our big
evperience was a pvthon
bunt I was verv eager to do
this as I thought we would do it
like vnu do in Africa-drive up
alongside a pvthon and take
his picture. Not so in India!
The driver stopped and Rai
said'Okav. evervhodv nut.
We go the rest of the wav on
foot."
My replv was. "You've got
to be kidding " Well, he
wasn't. He told me that
pvthons are verv shv and that
we would approach their pits
verv silentlv. Ihpn track them
lo where thev would be
sunning themselves. So off we
went, very silentlv and I
wasn't in the lead. The first
thing we did was stumble onto
a brown boa constrictor, about
six feet long. The snake was
asleep in the middle of the
path. He did turn out to be
quite shv. because he woke up
with a start and was gone like
a streak of lightning, so no
pictures of him. From then on
we tipttx'd to the pvthon pits.
The pvthons wait for wild pigs
-and ground porcupines to dig
pits in which to wallow and
then the snakes move in. Of
course, the pigs and porcu
pines move right out. We
started tracking, and soon
found a python about 12 feet
long and very large around,
obviously having just eaten
something like a small ante
lop'. We were able to get
quite good movies of him
N'fore he disappeared. We
found one more but he was
also a streaker, so no pictures
of him either
We drove next to Agra and
went to see and photograph

panese tourists. The Tai
Mahal is trulv one of the most
beautiful monuments to be
seen and we were dulv
impressed.
From Agra we went hack to
the bush. We went by plane to
Khajurcho. where the Hindu
temples are very ancient and
world renowned for their
erotic art. From here we went
bouncing along in our "li
mousines" to Bandhavgarh
for more game viewing from
elephant back, still seeking
the Bengal Tiger. And we
found the tiger this time. We
were riding our elephants up a
ravine and found the tiger
napping on the bank.' at eye
level and about 12 feet away.
My first thought was that he
was liable to leap and be
silting between Frank and me
in our howdah. However, he
looked at us and yawned,
turned over and went back to
sleep. We found this to be the
tiger attitude throughout. He
seemed to know that he's an
endangered species and that
the camera is not a lethal
weapon. We also saw manv of
the beautiful samhar deer,
spotted deer, and monkevs
galore. It wasn't a snipe hunt
after all
From here we went to
Kanha-Kisli. the best game
park in India, and we found
lots of tigers. In this park fhe
mahouts went out about 4:30
a.m.. taking about seven
elephants. Thev found a tiger,
left one or two elephants and
mahouts with him and then
came out to the road to pick us
up so we could join the hunt
and do our photographing. We
stayed there four davs and it
was the highlight of the trip
for me. I learned a lot of
different wavs to get on and
off an elephant, and we saw
more game there than in anv
of the other parks.
