Watch out for the first ever shots of fresh water jelly fish in India and also the Blue Eyed bush frog, only discovered in Karnataka a couple of years ago. The whole video has been shot in the forests of Karnataka and most of the animals showcased are endemic to these forests which means they are not to be found anywhere else in the world.
