Samundari salam! For Ocean Month, I’m doing a series on IG that I want to share with my #IndiAves and other fam here. It’s a spinoff of Pratidin Prani. Each day, I’m finding and rapping (haan ji) about a different marine species in Mumbai 😁 See Episode 1 linked in the comment!

Juhu beach was an Olive Ridley nesting site until the late '80s. It is not unfathomable that turtles have been nesting on Mumbai's beaches but we haven't been paying attention. This needs urgent attention and intervention from the authorities!

Second Olive Ridley turtle trying to nest at Juhu beach chased away by people this month. We know of at least 3 such cases from just this month. It's time to stop treating these as freak instances and maybe think of our beaches as turtle nesting sites! mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-…

@lolwutnopewtf @gauravsabnis @NeeloySany91425 Kombdi has Persian root? Sounds very deshaj and the internet suggests there are Sanskrit/Prakrit root. I’m only curious about the etymology point since chickens (whether eaten or not) were domesticated here from the native junglefowl that is not found west or north of us.

@gauravsabnis @NeeloySany91425 I don’t think he’s far off, chicken and eggs doesn’t seem to be popular before the modern era. Eggs for example are not that widely used in Indian cuisine. Even the Hindi, Gujarati and Marathi word for chicken have Persian root

@gauravsabnis The media is absolutely missing this all over the place and Indian media OFC is the worst of all. This election is purely a story of the failure of the Democrats. The story of Trump’s appeal belongs in 2016 and 2020 if anything.

Looking at almost complete numbers and must stress again - Trump got 2 million fewer votes than 2020. There was no surge in his favor. - Harris got 12 million fewer than B2020. There was a MASSIVE drop in Dem turnout among voters of color & young voters. Denominator changed.

Millets are NOT the enemy of elephants or conservation. In fact they are far better than rice and wheat. Let not the narrative of elephant deaths in Bandhavgarh, which needs independent investigation, tell you otherwise.

I know, right? So good! I know a Desi family that lives in Manhattan, know how safe our water is, but only drink bottled water cos "kids prefer that taste". Sad irony is they are making their kids complicit in pointlessly polluting the ocean & planet the kids will inherit.

It’s getting rarer and rarer that I post here but this is a special one to share with my original online nature space - #IndiAves. BAMBOO SHARK IN MUMBAI! One of the carpet sharks, a group of mostly small bottom-dwellers. I say “mostly” because of one big exception. Guess who?

@krish_bohra If you’re reading 50 self-help books a year with some kind of Pareto principle hope that you’ll eventually find the one idea that sets you up for success… You’ve already missed the way more obvious idea to just read 50 summaries instead 🤷🏽‍♂️

@Sahastheherp Can also see the case for WG to also be called Indian king cobra as an alternate common name. The way we call Madras treeshrew as “Indian treeshrew” even though northern treeshrew also has its range in Northeast. Or “indian giant flying squirrel” despite red ranging into NE.

According to John Anderson (1879) Ganga river dolphin had a wide range across Ganga and Brahmaputra (and the connecting rivers). They could be easily seen in Yamuna and Hooghly, even in the cities of Delhi and Kolkata.

@JeremyBRoberts @science_barbie Ahh thank you so much for the insight. It mostly surprised me because we always see them inside crevices here, not often out in the open. Definitely makes sense for the small ones to be juveniles. TY 🙏🏽

@SahirDoshi @science_barbie In this case, it’s likely normal behavior rather than courtship. Moray eels are typically solitary but may share space, especially during breeding season. The smaller one might be a juvenile, which is tolerated by adults.

Moray eel experts! Can you help explain what’s going on between these two I saw in a rock pool in Mumbai? There was a third small one a rock away. October is presumed breeding season here as sightings (esp. juveniles) increase now. Courtship/territoriality? #IndiAves
