Additional information

R K Menon is a keen observer of animal behaviour. Fuelled by his deep interest in ethology, he studied blackbuck intensively for three years in the late seventies in Guindy National Park and Point Calimere, and followed it with years of continued observation. A founding member of the Madras Naturalist’s Society, he has encouraged, guided, and helped a number of students and naturalists gain a footing in the field of animal behaviour research and conservation.
