Meet The Blanks

As we learned in the previous post, Meet The _______ was a strip appearing in Tinkle, the comic from India, which focused on a different creature in each episode. (Usually Fauna, but not always.) Last time i promised a collection of those strips, so let's jump right in.
All these strips were scripted by Ashvin and illustrated by Pradeep Sathe, whose work we saw on a few strips earlier today.

I mentioned plants getting coverage, but not just any plant. Unlike the animals, this one is written by S.M. Almeida, with artwork from J.P. Irani -
