all the time. His antics leave his bosses speechless and the readers in splits.

Shikari Shambu is one of Tinkle's most beloved character. He is a bumbling jungle

poachers, wild animals and pirates, he manages to emerge victorious. Children have
been following his adventures for decades and enjoy reading about his latest exploits.

tried them all. Fortunately for King Hooja, the plans always backfire and Tantri
has to go back to the drawing board.
Doob-doob the crocodile and Chamataka the fox are the kings of the forest — or so
they think. In reality, Kalia the crow is the one who calls the shots. No matter
how hard Doob-doob and Chamataka try, Kalia always foils their plans. Whenever the
smaller animals are in danger from Doob-doob and Chamataka, it's Kalia to the rescue!
Pyarelal is a good-natured farmer with a very kind heart. Cheerful and easygoing,

themselves. Although he sometimes makes mistakes, he comes out of every situation
with his enthusiasm and positive attitude intact.
