A group of three birdwatchers from the city considered themselves lucky when they sighted a pair of Indian wolves, a rare wild animal, which is critically endangered and globally threatened, near a lake situated off Umrer Road, early this week. The birdwatchers Avinash Londhe. a wildlife photographer, Surendra Agnihotri and Sanket Dharashivkar were on their normal birdwatching trip to a lake off Umrer Road where a study of breeding behaviour of one of the prey-birds White-eyed Buzzard (Butastur teesa) is being undertaken by the trio.
Londhe reported that on entering the lake shore from the southern side in the morning they noticed presence of two Indian Wolves (male). These wolves were sitting on the shore and were very watchful of the surroundings. The trio carefully watched this pair of wolves from distance till the wolves left the shore from the northern side towards forest of village Sonegaon after about half an hour.
