Plants and Animals

While we were trekking, and then on our visit to a bird sanctuary on the way back to Mysore, we saw some cool plants and animals. In addition to those pictured here, we saw monkeys and mongers (gooses?) - but they were took quick for our kidsinchennai cameramen. Quick explanation on two of the photos - we are told that the large round structure up in a tree is a 'white ant's nest'. The hill Ashwin is standing next to is the biggest anthill we've ever seen!

Great pics! Those elephants must have loved the extra attention Priya and Ashwin. Grandpa and I are more excited than ever to come to visit India. We miss you guys!! Love, Nana

that's a snail - if you look closely you should be able to see it's shell on it's back. It was pretty good sized!
