Field Notes

Description:

Located in Kovaipudur (Coimbatore), Tamilnadu, India.

Habitat:

Locality is neither town nor village. a dry scrub some 30 yrs back, is converted into township slowly. Indigenous vegetation was removed to give way to houses. Population has increased dramatically in the recent years in this area.

Notes:

I found it in the portico of my house. My dog spotted it by trailing its scent, and i had to hurt this a little before i had it moved outside. I'm feeling sorry for hurting it, but initially i'm kinda feared by its size and agility.
