The Phalarope Dad


This Fathers' Day, meet a dad with a difference- the male Phalarope! Phalaropes are shorebirds known for two very unusual characteristics: one, feeding by creating whirlpools and raising food from the bottom of the water, and two, their polyandrous mating system! Females mate with several males and it is the fathers that are assigned all nesting duties!

The comic appears in my column with Sunday Mid-Day. Happy Fathers' Day to all dads tame and wild.

Heart Spotted Woodpeckers


The Heart-spotted Woodpecker is a small woodpecker found in the Western Ghats of India and in South-east Asia, and is simply adorable to look at! They are called so because of the heart-shaped spots on their wings. Here's a pair of 'Hearties', available as prints and merchandise on my webstore here.
