The Life of a Harp Seal


Life's tough being a Harp Seal! Here's a comic from my page with Arastirmaci Cocuk Merkezi, a Turkish children's magazine, that takes you through the life cycle of a Harp Seal. The Harp Seal is a earless seal native to the northern Atlantic and the Arctic Oceans.

The comic originally appears in Turkish in the January issue of Arastirmaci Cocuk Merkezi, brought out from Ankara. Prints on my webstore here

The Star Tortoise Trade

The Indian Star Tortoise is one of the most trafficked animals in the illegal pet trade. Thanks to exotic pet owners, the wild populations of the Indian Star Tortoise, like many other tortoises and turtles, has crashed dramatically.

The comic appears in my column with Sunday Mid-Day today.

The Lyrebird

Lyrebirds are ground-dwelling birds found in Australia, renowned for their exceptional mimicry! Immortalized by Sir David Attenborough in the documentary 'Life of Birds', the Superb Lyrebird in particular can mimic anything from a bird to a gunshot to a camera shutter!

The comic appears in my column with The Hindu BL-ink this weekend.

Mixed Species Flocks




Ever wondered why birds form mixed species flocks? Here's a comic that proposes some of my own theories! 

The Greater Racket-tailed Drongo, a great mimic of other birds, is often responsible for initiating the formation of mixed species flocks. The latest mixed species flock I have encountered was in Pakke Tiger Reserve in NE India, formed by Silver-eared Mesias, Blue-winged Minlas, Striped Tit Babblers, Rufous-capped Babblers and White-throated Fantails, all supervised by a Racket-tailed Drongo!

The comic appears in my column with Mid-Day.
