A new animal I happened to photograph recently. A docile looking animal, capable of hunting much bigger mammals.
Thank you so much for your kind attention & views !

Canon 5D 4; 100-400mm; ISO 640; 1/200 sec. at F 5.6.

Congratulations on a cool find, Jagdeep.  I love mustelids and would be thrilled with this encounter.

Nice to see it in the tree like this.  I hope you were able to get some shots with a better view of the face as well.

This must have been and exciting event!  Not seen this on NPN before.  Glad you were able to get this good image of it.  Thanks for sharing.

Dandy exposure, and it is cool to see an unfamiliar (at least to me) species.  It is too bad the cluster of leaves are so close to the head, serving to disguise the overall shape of the head.
