Elephant Trunk Muscles

150000 muscles in their trunks, and yet one muscle short! Happy World Elephant Day!

Elephant Gestures and What They Mean

Ever wondered how elephants say so much without really saying so much? Here are just a few of the communication tricks in this marvelous animal's kitty, or should I say, trunk?

Happy World Elephant Day, elephant lovers! Comic from my column with Roundglass Sustain.

World Elephant Day and the Draft EIA

Dear MoEFCC, launching greenwashing publications on elephant conflict management on World Elephant Day makes no sense when you're all set to auction elephant habitat off to mines and development projects with the Draft EIA 2020.

Where's Gaju's Herd

'Where's Gaju's Herd?' a wordless colouring-cum-comic book I created for the Wildlife Trust of India's Gaj Yatra campaign on elephant conservation and awareness, will be a part of a display commencing tomorrow (1st August, 2018) at the Mandi House Metro Station in New Delhi. The 16 page book tells the story of an elephant calf Gaju who loses track of his herd and encounters several threats that elephants in India face, as he tries to find his way back to his family.  Artwork from the book will be on display at the metro station throughout the month of August.

Thanks to the WTI team and Ms. Rupa Gandhi for commissioning me for the project!

Elephants of the World

It's World Elephant Day on 12th August! Know your elephants, with the elephant map of the world. There are 6 in all that are extant, 4 sub-species of the Asian Elephant (Indian, Sri Lankan, Bornean and Sumatran) and the two species of the African Elephant (Bush and Forest Elephants). The map gives you approximate distributions for each of the species and sub-species, that are spread across central and southern Africa, south and south-east Asia, and the IUCN status for each. 

Prints of the map, and tshirts and merchandise of the compilation can be ordered from my webstore here.
