Have you ever captured any photos of any wildlife? Can you give me company by publishing your shots?
Silver Pheasant
The silver pheasant (Scientific name - Lophura nycthemera) belongs to the Phasianidae Family and their Genus is Lophura. They are mainly found in the mountains of Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Southeast Asia and eastern and southern China.
The Male pheasants are beautiful like any other pheasants. The males are white and black in colour and the females are brown in colour. They live in the Grasslands, Mountains and Forests. An average pheasant has a weight of up to 2 kg and a length of up to 125 cm.
A silver pheasant has a life span of between 15-20 years.
The Red List of IUCN listed pheasant as least concerned.
As an LG Photographer, I have spotted Silver Pheasant in Mysore Zoo Here.
