Heading into the heart of India’s Golden Triangle, here are 5 animals to look out for in this fascinating part of the world.

1. Common Kingfisher

Found throughout Asia and into Africa, Common Kingfisher are instantly recognisable thanks to their bright orange front and blue feathers making them stand out immediately amongst leaves and when nestled on branches on the hunt for insects.

2. Indian Wild Boar

Huge Indian Boars can be found in numerous locations around India and as far as Thailand and Sri Lanka.

Owners of huge snouts, boar are foragers that scour the land for choice morsels.

3. Leopards
