Field Notes

Description:

This guy was injured and had a hard time moving around. Just a few moments after I took this picture a bunch of guys tied a string around it's horn and swung it out in to the air for fun. Not sure if it survived the trauma.

Habitat:

Lower himalayan forest in Sikkim India
