Wild Ass, LRK, India Sharing some pictures of mammals sighted at the Wild Ass Sanctuary, Little Rann of Kutch, Gujarat. In India, wild Ass can be sighted in Ladakh and Gujarat only. Hyenas are usually spotted in Velavadar National Park in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, and rarely in Little Rann of Kutch. It was quite an unusual and lucky sighting. Photo credits to Soma Jha.
