"The Graceful Cheetal: From Sailing to Wildlife" In 1911, the majestic 6 Metre Cheetal (L21) sailed gracefully upwind, showcasing the craftsmanship of Kirk & Sons of Cowes. This elegant vessel glided through the waters with an air of sophistication. But let's shift our focus from the sea to land, where another kind reigns supreme. The Chital deer (Axis axis), a male adorned with magnificent antlers, roams freely in Bandhavgarh National Park. A true symbol of beauty and strength, this regal creature captures our attention. Sometimes nature can be harsh; it's a time for survival—a time to kill. In this realm, four Axis Deer gather together - a buck proudly displaying his antlers while protecting a precious fawn by his side. It reminds us that life is both fragile and fierce. An enchanting coloured engraving depicts yet another variation of Axis Deer—the Chital or cheetal (Axis axis). Its distinctive spotted coat adds charm to its already captivating presence in the animal kingdom. Traveling back in time to 1924 at London Zoo, we encounter four Axis Deer once again—this time captured in black and white photography. Among them stands a buck with formidable antlers as they captivate visitors with their gracefulness. Returning to the world of sailing, we witness thrilling races between three remarkable boats: Snowdrop, The Whim, and Cheetal—all part of the prestigious 6 Metres class. These vessels compete fiercely downwind as they vie for victory on open waters. The Spotted Axis also known as chital or cheetal continues to mesmerize us with its unique appearance amidst lush landscapes—an exquisite sight indeed. Picture No. 11049962 serves as proof that nature's artistry knows no bounds when it comes to this stunning species. Finally, we come full circle, back to the male chital deer.
