White-browed Bushchat

Meet shimmy enthusiast White-browed Bushchat! Also known as Stoliczka's Bushchat, the bird's bizarre 'puff and roll' dance has been a mystery to ornithology! Comic from my Sunday Mid-Day column.

Kottigehar Dancing Frog

An infographic done for ATREE PhD scholar and EDGE fellow Madhushri Mudke's study species, the endemic and endangered Kottigehar Dancing Frog. Found only in Karnataka's Western Ghats, the frog we have nicknamed 'Kappendra' can be seen having a dance-off with Kannada superstar Upendra in our infographic. A few 'teasers' that pay homage to the hand-drawn film poposters of Kannada cinema have also been designed in order to popularize the species in its home state. The infographic too will be translated to Kannada soon.

A big thanks to Madhushri for commissioning me for the project, and for taking me along to actually see the frog in its habitat. The infographic appears along with an article I wrote (my first!) on the Kottigehar Dancing Frog with Madhushri for Roundglass Sustain here. Thanks also to wildlife filmmaker Sugandhi Gadadhar for helping us with the Kannada translation of the teaser.

The Courtship Dance of the Western Parotia

Endemic to the Vogelkop mountains of West Papua, the Western Parotia is one of the world's most renowned dancers. But just being a great dancer takes you nowhere in the bird world, if you don't get your housekeeping right! Comic from my column with RoundGlass Sustain. Happy Valentine's Day!

Dancing advice from the Indian Dancing Frog

Dancing frogs live along fast-flowing streams in the Western Ghats where they use 'dance moves' to woo their mates, by extending their hind legs and presenting the flashy webs to the ladies! From my column with RoundGlass Sustain.

The Indian Dancing Frog

Meet one of India's finest dancers, not surprisingly from the South: the Indian Dancing Frog! Dancing Frogs belong to the genus Micrixalus, and combine dance and martial arts like nobody else! Dancing frogs are severely threatened by habitat loss.

Sloth Bears and Mahua Flowers

A comic on the Sloth Bear's penchant for Mahua, from my column with Mid-Day today. Mahua isn't just a popular drink among bears, but also people! And Mahua's credentials include not just alcohol, but also medicine.

If you're going out drinking tonight, don't forget to try the Mahua Macarena!
