Know Your Reindeer

Know your Reindeer this Christmas! I'm not talking about Dasher, Dancer and Prancer! Wild Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) or Caribou as they are known in North America, occur across the Arctic, sub-Arctic, Tundra and Boreal biomes in North America and Eurasia, as 14-15 different sub-species (that are further divided into various ecotypes) among which, the Woodland Caribou is the largest, and the Svalbard Reindeer the smallest. The Porcupine Caribou (named after the Porcupine River) makes the longest migration for any land mammal on earth! The Finnish Forest Reindeer is one of the rarest subspecies of Reindeer.

Caribou Facts for Christmas

Here's some quick trivia on Caribou or Reindeer to wish all Green Humour readers a merry Christmas! The comic appears in my column with Mid-Day today.

The Different Plumages of the Adult Male Ruff

It's Wader Month on Green Humour, and the Ruff is one special wader! Renowned for displaying marked sexual dimorphism, the male ruff engages in a variety of techniques of bagging a mate in a lek. While the non-breeding plumage of a male ruff is like that of a reeve's (a female ruff), three different breeding plumages exist among breeding males- the typical breeding adult, the 'faeder' and the 'satellite' male.

The comic appears in my column with The Hindu BLink today. Merry Christmas and happy birding!

An Oxpecker Christmas

Oxpeckers are birds from the family Buphagidae, that feed on the backs of large animals, residing in the African. These opportunists are among my favourite birds, and I dream of spending a morning in the savanna with my notebook, scribbling little cartoons about these birds as I watch them go about their business. 

A merry Christmas to all! 

Merry Christmas!

Arctic wolves depend on reindeer or caribou for a major part of their diet. An adult, healthy reindeer is capable of outrunning a wolf, but the wolf adopts stealth, stamina and group strategy

to bring it down. Caribou avoid wolves by sleeping on the frozen lakes in winters. The lives of the wolf and the caribou are delicately intertwined. A wolf pack must make a caribou kill before the deer migrate in search of pastures, or else young members of the pack would be subjected to starvation. 

Maybe Rudolph’s shining red nose would make good ketchup for his canine Arctic foe! Merry Christmas!

A Present for the Pangolin

Pangolins lack teeth in their jaws and are hence not able to chew. Evolution has compensated for thisloss by giving them extremely long tongues. They use their strong claws to break anthills and termite mounds open and can probe deep into these structures for ants and grubs. Some species such as the Tree Pangolin use their prehensile tails to hang from branches and hunt arboreal insects.

So, what gifts did you give/get this Christmas?
