Staying at the eco-friendly homestay Hog’s Hole, he encounters Mira Ponappa, a woman at home in the wilderness, rowing coracles, wielding a country dagger, and fiercely protecting the land she loves.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAs Dhruv struggles to track Karia and Kapila, a green-eyed leopardess who has captured the panther’s attention, he finds himself equally drawn to Mira. But Mira is busy modernising the homestay and pushing back against her gun-toting granny, who is staunchly opposed to any change that could threaten Kabini’s fragile ecosystem.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nLove Bites and Pugmarks in Kabini is a conservation thriller that blends wildlife fiction, eco-fiction, and slow-burn romance.
