Rosy Starlings and COVID
While the continent was conjoined in going through COVID-19, Rosy starlings demonstrated that our transboundary connections could also be those of joy. And in the chaos, it was wild birds, who don’t speak English, who had carried this message.
Elephants
Elephants remember precise things that look like nothing to us. A tree could be a flag post. A waterbody is a reminder of a birth. A rock is a turn in the road.
Rhesus macaque monkeys
People feeding monkeys in India has led to a chain of unfortunate events. Monkeys are fed at temples and chased outside them.
Tiger butterflies
I realized then that if I followed the butterfly, I would find the enchanted places in the metropolis—places that stood tall and resilient: true Banyans growing through dust.
Great Indian Bustard
In the way Great Indian Bustard sees the desert, it is clear it can navigate the heat, the lack of water, the endless dunes, the scarcity of water, the temperature extremes. Power lines, it cannot.
Indian cobra
The Cobra, saddled with a phantasmagoria of milk, gemstones and kisses on the mouth, would prefer a plain little mouse and a hole in the dirt instead
Amur falcons
For the birders who saw the Amur falcons being butchered, the tragedy was not just of a little wild bird being killed, it was also in the fact that the bird’s long, heroic, circular journey had reached an abrupt, full stop.
Tiger
In tiger land, death walks with the living, where tigers alternate between being gods, nuisances, mothers and beasts.
Crocodile
People look for relatability even in non-human faces. But the perfect predator has never felt the need to be relatable.
