A leap of green
What I spotted
While Maharashtra has several reserves famous for tiger-spotting, namely Melghat, Tadoba, Pench, Nagzira, Sahyadri, Bor, Umred Karhandla and Tipeshwar, Amboli Ghat is not as explored as the others. I have always been fascinated by the lesser fauna of forests and particularly the rain forests. The Malabar Gliding Frogs (in pic) are typical of Amboli. True to their name, they glide from one tree to another with the help of their webbed feet that act as wings. The aren't found elsewhere.
