There are many instances of negative human interactions with wildlife. But sometimes there are good things, like with these barn swallows building their nest right inside this shop in the Himalayas – safely away from predators.<\/p>

Barn swallows are revered as the goddess of wealth and fortune.They are taken as the harbingers of peace and prosperity. So the people gladly accept the faeces and other nuisances made by the birds.<\/p>

Arabian Red Foxes usually breed in the desert far away from humans. This is a really rare case and one that I monitored for almost three months.<\/p>

I found two dens near the city of Kuwait, with each den having a family of 5 kittens with their parents. One den was close to the houses next to the shore of Kuwait, which amazed me when I first saw them!<\/p>

The other den was still next to houses but in an old palm reserve. Finding breeding foxes near the city is something really unusual. Land degradation, habitat loss, human impact, and overhunting in the desert may be why these two families decide to risk it all and breed near the city.<\/p>

My friends and I walked in the centre of the small town of Hampi in India. There was a bicycle parking area nearby.<\/p>

Suddenly a group of langurs jumped on these bicycles and began to frolic around. We were afraid to frighten them away, so I started taking pictures from afar. But then we came very close to them and the langurs continued to play with bicycles for the comical shot.<\/p>
