Those who have never seen a leopard under favorable conditions in his natural surroundings can have no conception of the grace of movement, and beauty of coloring, of this the most graceful and the most beautiful of all animals” ~ Jim Corbett

Nature has evolved Leopards into ferocious hunting machines. While in a larger context they may look plain dead evil feeding on almost anything that moves - from insects to fishes to zebras to giraffes - Leopard literally has no inhibition in its feeding habits. Survival of the fittest engraved deep into its wild DNA.

But is that all there is? A wild monster? Or is there more. I remember seeing a National Geographic Documentary where a wild leopard killed a baboon in order to feed herself. However upon noticing an infant baboon clinging to the dead baboon, the leopard caringly carried the infant up to the safety of the tree to guard her from hyenas. She groomed and cuddled the baby throughout the winter night, kept a watch to make sure the little one didn't slip off the tree - given the watchful eyes of Hyenas waiting below, caring as she would of her own cub.

Animal kingdom is complex and layered beyond most of our understanding. If only we took a moment to pause and understand how deep and wonderful these coinhabitants are - maybe we wouldn't have plundered their worlds upside down. Nature has a lot to teach - for those who wish to learn.

“We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate for having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein do we err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with the extension of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings: they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth.” ― Henry Beston

Symbiosis celebrates the coexistence of humans with nature. No matter how hard we - the humans - try to shield ourselves from the elements of nature, nature finds ways and means to remind us of our deep rooted connect. We are one big family, we did co-exist in close proximity - with respect and concern to each other but the gap has widened - thanks to our ignorance and lack of empathy. Though a harsh reality, we humans also possess the immense capability to correct the course and make it right. It's very much evident in distant lands, away from the madness of our cities, where the thread of connection was never ruptured. Be it in the Savannah of Kenya or the Mighty Himalayas, occupants of these far corners have long realized the importance of co-existence. The very motto of ‘Live & Let Live’ held high.

“If we were to disappear overnight, the rest of the world would get on pretty well. But if they were to disappear, the land’s ecosystems would collapse.” ― David Attenborough

Symbiosis collection features 16 1/1s - 8 Wildlife images which are open to collect and 8 associated portraits which would be airdropped to the collectors.
