Arvind Krish Bala and his friend, Natarajan, an Irula tribesman, were perched on a treetop at a waterhole in the Parambikulam reserve forest in Kerala. They were waiting to sight a tiger. This was when Natarajan told him the story of his first encounter with a black panther in the Anamalais, ‘elephant hills’, in the Western Ghats running through Kerala and Tamilnadu. Natarajan had been roaming the Anamalais for more than forty years and he knew every bird there, and everything about it. But the one he had never seen in all those years was the black panther. “It was my son who first sighted the magnificent black beast,” said Natarajan proudly.

About the Author
The author used to trek in the Western Ghats and bring back stories and pictures for his little daughter, Spatika. She thought her father owned those forests. Now, she knows that we all own the forests. His first tale for her from the wild was about the black panther. So, it is special. Aravind used to be a teacher, and is now a journalist writing on environment, wildlife and conservation.
The illustrator is also a storyteller, animator and writer. He has illustrated several books, as well as written and illustrated the very popular Gajapati Kulapati series about a lovable elephant.
