No fur to cover your shivering naked body this winter? No problem. Beat the cold with these thermo-appropriate threads instead.
The wise owl
A large number of owls are sacrificed in India every year during Diwali for good luck. According to a study by WWF India, Delhi ranked third in the illegal trade of owls. In 2010, the then forest minister Jairam Ramesh blamed the Harry Potter books and movies for the demise of the owls in India.
The sturdy bear
In India, Brown Bears exist only in 23 protected areas in J&K, HP and Uttaranchal. According to IUCN, only 500 Brown Bears are left in India and they're considered to be a vulnerable species.
The cunning fox
Normally, solitary red foxes pair up during the winter months in preparation for some January/February mating. Just like lonely humans, but minus the use of Pizza Express vouchers. The species is considered 'threatened' in India.
The nimble hare
Brown hares can run at speeds in excess of 70kmph, perfect for keeping warm and faster than any pesky pooch.
