20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Conflict Zone
Conflict Zone National highway “NH-766” passes through Bandipur National Park connecting Karnataka & Kerala States of India. This highway often witnesses conflict between human & animals. After finishing my evening safari, I was on my way to resort. Suddenly we saw herd of elephants trying to cross the highway. Our vehicle was stopped at a very safe distance but few irresponsible humans were very close to this herd of elephants making them feel insecure. The mamma elephant suddenly charged on a vehicle trying to cross the road. I captured this shot from other side.This image shows the real conflict between humans & wild animals.
