Across India’s forests, rare sightings of tigers with unusual stripes or leopards with jet-black coats spark wonder and curiosity. Expedition Leader Varun Devaraj explores the fascinating world of abnormal morphs—natural variations in an animal’s coloration or patterning. Discover melanistic black leopards, pseudo-melanistic tigers with extra-wide stripes, piebald gaurs with multicolored coats, and leucistic peafowl covered in white feathers. Learn the basic genetics behind these visual variations and what they reveal about population diversity in the wild.

India may conjure images of tigers, rhinos and elephants, but the country is also home to a remarkable diversity of primates, from the Western hoolock gibbon in the northeast to the rare lion-tailed macaque of the Western Ghats. In honor of World Primate Day, Expedition Leader Varun Devaraj introduces some of India’s lesser-known primates, exploring their behaviors, habitats and conservation stories. He’ll also share insights on primate evolution, examine their role as seed dispersers and explain why they’re vital to healthy ecosystems.

Can humans truly coexist alongside 600-pound apex predators? In honor of International Tiger Day, India Expedition Leader Aditya Panda explores this year’s theme: “Harmonious Coexistence between Humans and Tigers.” Drawing from India’s 50 years of tiger conservation—where 4,000 big cats share space with 1.4 billion people—Aditya shares lessons from his own conservation work, as well as wild tiger tales from the field. Find out what India’s success can teach the world about living with large carnivores and the future of tiger conservation.
