Nandavanam House first issue begins here with a title page.
The name of the story is Bear Witness. Look for a new page every Friday although today, you're going to get a two-fer to get the ball rolling.
It's going to be an adult themed comic but that will quickly become evident. Taking in place India during the time of the British Raj, this story is about some lions and, in a sense, hospitality.

Nilgai! They are such undeservedly obscure beasts, a very special mighty antelope!
The Indian deer, like the chital and the sambar deer, are also splendid and beautiful,
and badly wanting for representation.
Wishing your new project luck and spotlight, and wishing you the tenacity to see it to the final page!

Aren't they neat? Handsome too, but then again, so are most cloven-hoofed creatures. I m quite a fan.
Nilgai are considered an invasive species here in Texas but are limited to the southern most counties. Strange to think about. I'm in south Texas but I don't think they prosper here.

Well, "considered invasive species" after they were artificially introduced in the 1920s,
but it is indeed quizzical to imagine the U.S. ecosystems being threatened by something
so incredibly exotic. One can be amazed observing the pronghorns, and consider
them to be an intercontinental anomaly in their pseudo-antelope oddballishness,
but herds of nilgais roaming around? That sounds like an absurdist comedy sketch!
The U.S. has nearly every climate and biome imaginable, I'm sure you could introduce
just about anything there and it would thrive and prosper...
Capybaras in Louisiana, giraffes in Nevada, snow leopards in Montana!
Even kangaroos in Georgia! So many mad ecologist scenarios to imagine!
Ostriches are apparently really hardy and can survive in temperate regions,
so maybe they'll be the next rabbits, sheep and horses in terms of invasiveness.

Life just wants to live. I know the origin of the nilgai here in Texas. Same with the black Russian boar and the blackbuck here. I was speaking for how the State views them more than my own personal feelings on the matter. With the nilgai, I think it the State's more negative view has to do with nilgai complicating the efforts to contain and eradicate cattle fever ticks along the border with Mexico. On the other hand, there's plenty of hunting tourism to hunt them.
It's funny how the term invasive tends to only come up when the species interferes with human interests. European honeybees are everywhere no one bats an eye. Feral parakeets populations thriving in some of our cities? Well, they're only competing with the pigeon and they're not from around here either.
I can't imagine the ecosystem being under much of a threat from Nilgai. They haven't spread over more of Texas because they don't do well in cold winters.
I suspect we could have a long and enjoyable conversation about the topic of naturalized versus invasive. I tend to think about the subject because I've fascination with post apocalyptic stories. I could easily see Texas being covered with exotic game in the future because of all the canned hunt farms here with exotic game.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
We humans do tend to paint the outside world with the colors of our preference
and personal gain and convenience, like how the harp seal pups have become
the emblem of wildlife conservation efforts, even though that species is Least Concern,
while there are thousands of less cute species facing the danger of extinction.
I wish there were ways of controlling the non-native populations to prevent
them from harming the host ecosystems. Perhaps it would be done with tagging
or a system of wildlife migration checkpoints, or interfacing with the farmers
and the hunters... It's too bad that we have so many human problems right now
to spare much thought and resources for ecological planning.
Regardless of their epidemiologic or ecological niche hijacking dangers,
I would like to see nilgais in the wild, they are absolutely majestic.
The blackbucks you mentioned are also gorgeous beasts!
It is clear that you have a lot of passion and knowledge about these areas of zoology,
but I'm fairly ignorant and boring in comparison, only having a tourist's insight
into the lives of those animals, so the conversions you wondered about
would probably consist of my listening to your experience and ideas.
But I'm grateful for the exchanges we've already had!
