Recently a specimen of this was spotted by David Raju, a well known Odonata expert and our team of in-house naturalists of Outpost 12, Tilari while on a walk in the lodge grounds.

The Cat-Eyed Climber of Kanha

When we think of cats in Kanha, the first thing that comes to mind is the majestic tiger, leopard, or other smaller wild cats. But Kanha is also home to a fascinating creature that shares a very distinct cat feature 'its eyes'.

Meet Forsten's Cat Snake (Boiga forsteni), a large, forest-dwelling species of snake with cat-like vertical pupils.

A thick black or dark-brown postocular streak runs from the eye to the jaw, which again resembles a cat. This species occurs in a wide range of color morphs, from grey, brown, and reddish, with zig-zag patterns or crossbands on the body. Some individuals are reddish-brown with faint patterns or even completely patternless.
