Vanellus Indicus
The red-wattled lapwing (''Vanellus indicus'') is an Asian lapwing or large plover, a wader in the family Charadriidae. Like other lapwings they are ground birds that are incapable of perching. Their characteristic loud alarm calls are indicators of human or animal movements and the sounds have been variously rendered as ''did he do it'' or ''pity to do it'' leading to the colloquial name of ''did-he-do-it'' bird. Usually seen in pairs or small groups not far from water, they sometimes form large aggregations in the non-breeding season (winter). They nest in a ground scrape laying three to four camouflaged eggs. Adults near the nest fly around, diving at potential predators while calling noisily. The cryptically patterned chicks hatch and immediately follow their parents to feed, hiding by lying low on the ground or in the grass when threatened. Taxonomy Traditionally well known to native hunters, the red-wattled lapwing was first described in a book by the French polymath Geo ...

Varanus Indicus
The mangrove monitor, mangrove goanna, or Western Pacific monitor lizard (''Varanus indicus'') is a member of the monitor lizard family with a large distribution from northern Australia and New Guinea to the Moluccas and Solomon Islands. It grows to lengths of . It is also known as wbl yb in the Kalam language of Papua New Guinea. Taxonomy The mangrove monitor was first described by the French herpetologist François Marie Daudin in 1802. Daudin's original holotype of a subadult specimen was collected on Ambon, Indonesia, and has since disappeared from the museum in Paris. Daudin's original name for the species was ''Tupinambis indicus'', an appellation it would carry for 100 years until being renamed as a ''Varanus''. The generic name ''Varanus'' is derived from the Arabic word ''waral'' (ورل), which translates to English as "monitor". Its specific name, ''indicus'', is Latin for the country of India, but in this instance it relates to Indonesia or the East Indies, where th ...

Vasuki Indicus
''Vasuki indicus'' is an extinct snake species in the family Madtsoiidae that lived during the Middle Eocene of what is now India. ''V. indicus'' is the Monotypic taxon, only species in the genus ''Vasuki'', known from several vertebrae found in the Naredi Formation. It has an estimated body length between , making it the largest known madtsoiid. The highest length estimates place ''Vasuki'' among the longest snakes ever discovered. Discovery and naming The holotype specimen of ''Vasuki'', IIT Roorkee, IITR/VPL/SB 3102-1-21, was discovered in 2005 within the sedimentary layers of the Naredi Formation in the Panadhro Lignite Mine in the Kutch district of Gujarat State, western India. The specimen consists of 27 pre-cloacal vertebrae, some of which were found in Joint, articulation. The fossil material was found some time after 2004, and preliminary analyses suggested crocodilian affinities for the fossil material without further review. In 2024, ''Vasuki indicus'' was Species ...
