Tiger

Bengal Tiger is endangered is because of the lack of its natural habitat. The tiger lives in various habitats from, open jungles, humid evergreen forests to mango grove swamps. Male Bengaltigers require a territory of 20 square miles, and females require about 17 square miles in order for them to feel protected. In India, the population has developed immensely. Large-scale migration on the outskirts of large cities has affected the forests too. A large part of India was covered, until recently, with thick forests. Since there has been a great deal of expansion, these forests were cut down to provide land for homes or commercial uses. Another major cause of deforestation is agricultural expansion. Recently the development of industrialization, urbanization and growing consumerism has resulted in the massive destruction of the forests. One reason that these forests are being destroyed is due to logging.Bengal Tiger is endangered is because of the lack of its natural habitat.

The story is not merely a simple account of the incident however. It is full of stories and facts about bears, which affect how the reader reacts to the story. In the beginning, the reader expects the bear to be portrayed as a cold-blooded monster who must be killed for the safety of the primary character however this expectation is foiled throughout the story and the reader sees the bear in a very different light..

Polar bear

Scientists believe that Ursus maritimus, the "sea bear," evolved about 200,000 years ago from brown bear ancestors. Polar bears are the world's largest land predators. They top the food chain in the Arctic, where they dine primarily on seals. Polar bears are the largest land carnivore. Male polar bears, which are called boars, grow two to three times the size of female polar bears, which are called sows. Boars weigh about 350 to more than 650 kg that’s 772 –1,433 pounds, and they are about 8 ½ to 10 feet long! Sows weigh about 300 to 600 pounds and are about 6.6 to 8.2 ft. long. Pregnant females can weigh as much as 1,102 pounds! The largest polar bear ever recorded was a male weighing 2,209 pounds and measuring and enormous 12 ft. long. Compared to other bears such as the brown and black bears,polar bears have elongated bodies and long slender necks. Mostly used for swimming in the water. Their heavy fur coat can be pure white to creamy yellow to light brown depending on the season and angle of light your looking at it.
Polar bears hind limbs are longer than the forelimbs. This makes the large, muscular hind end stand higher than the shoulders. Although both there hind and forelimbs are very large and stocky. They have huge paw

Goat domestic animals

Goats are very common in our country. We get milk from the she-goats. Their milk is very nutritious. Their milk is a fine food for the little babies. Their smell is a check against T.B. The hill-goats carry loads along the Goats were first tamed about 9,000 years ago. They are not an endangered species. Their body temperature varies from 102 to 105 degrees Fahrenheit. Their heart beats about 70 times per minute. So, really, they aren't very dissimilar from us. Their digestive system is more like that of a dog's. The goat has large amounts of amino and hydrochloric acids in it's stomach. There are large amounts of these acids because the goat needs them to digest all the coarse and jagged foods that it eats, such as branches, shrubs, or even jaggers. The walls of the stomach and the intestines are also very thick.. The cruel persons kill the goats to get their flesh and hides. It is certainly a barbarous act.

Donkey animals

Donkeys can be used just like horses under saddle and in harness, although donkeys are more laid back and relaxed in nature. They prefer to do what is good for the donkey, which is not always what the human thinks is. They are very friendly, and their nature makes them excellent for children. Donkeys can also make wonderful guard animals. A donkey will take care of an entire herd of cattle, sheep or goats. Their natural aggression towards predators will inspire the donkey to severely discourage any canine attacks on the herd. Dogs and donkeys usually don’t mix, although they can be trained to leave the house or farm dog alone.

Although there are good reasons that donkeys are nice for short, inexpensive travel, there are also cons. The donkey can go at an average pace of 4.32 miles per hour. That is a very long trip if a long distance is desired. Donkeys are also known for their aggressiveness in an uncomfortable situation. An aggressive situation may be anything a donkey has or has not encountered in its life. If a snake had bitten a donkey at one time, the next time it encounters any type of snake it will act very wildly. When a donkey becomes scared it does many things. It will first take a few lunges backward and begin to bray continuously. Then the donkey will start to buck. If a person is on a donkey while it is being frightened, they better do their very best to get off of it. Such accidents such as broken necks, paralyzation, and even death have occurred many times in the past. To prevent any uncom

Snow Leopard

The snow leopard is an endangered and threatened animal of the wild. This large to medium-size cat is apart of the Animalia kingdom. It's main difference from most large cats like it is, that they cannot roar which places them in the Uncia Uncia genus. These felines can weight between about 60 to 120 pounds. Snow leopards live in some of the most remote habitat in the world. They call the Himalayan Mountains home, from Myanmar moving west through China, Nepal, India, Pakistan and back east again through Kazakstan, Mongolia and the Gobi Desert. Total area of distribution is about 1,900,000 square kilometers. Estimates run from 6,000 to 14,000 snow leopards left in the wild. It is very difficult to get a good estimates of how many snow leopards are left in the wild because of the large area they can be found and the remoteness of that same area.

Currently the scientific community believes there are only one sub-species of snow leopard. In the most simple type of classification the snow leopards are one of three cats that biologist have a difficult time classifying the genera as a big cat or small cat. The big cats are considered Panthera and the small cats Felis. The snow leopard does not fit very well in either classification and are classified Uncia.

The snow leopard primary prey species are the sheep and goat native to the reign, (blue sheep, ibex, markhor, and argali). They have also been know to prey on the smaller mammals and birds in the area.

Snow leopards are listed in CITES as Appendix 1 animals. They are protected over most of their range but are still killed by sheep ranchers because of the losses snow leopards inflect on livestock. The Snow Leopard Stewardship Project was developed to address those predator-livestock issues. Visit our friends at t

Horse animals

The horse has a high head, a long neck and a strong body. It has long hair on its beautiful neck. They are called mane. It has a bushy tail. Its hair of the tail is used in a number of ways. Its skin is smooth and glossy. Its hoofs are hard and solid. Its ears are beautifully set on his head. It is about five feet high. It is white, brown and black in color.Horses are of many kinds. There are ordinary horses and war-horses. There are horses of hilly countries, the horse of Arabia, central Asia, Africa and Europe, etc. The Arabia horses are famous for their intelligence, swiftness and strength. Australian horses are tall and strong. They are beautiful to look at. But they do not much power of endurance.

Deer animals

    

Picture taken by Wanda Embar.

Deer are members of the order Artiodactyle, which means that they have hoofs with an even number of toes.Deer can be found around the world. They are native to all continents except for Australia and Antarctica. There are about 100 types of deer, including the whitetail deer, reindeer, elk, moose, mule deer, blacktail deer and caribou. Male deer are called bucks, bulls, stags or harts. Female deer are called does, cows or hinds. Young deer are called fawns or calfs. Deer can adapt well to just about any habitat. They prefer to live in "edge" habitats. Edges are human-made or natural habitat breaks, for instance from woods to croplands. They will use the woodlands for cover and shelter and the open land to graze in. In northern latitudes, deer may live in different areas in the summer and winter months. These areas can be as far as 30 miles apart. Deer are the only animals that have antlers. They are the fastest growing living tissue on earth. Antlers are usually only found on males. In some species, like caribou, you will also find them on females. Moose have the largest antlers. Antlers grow from spring until fall. While growing, antlers are covered with a soft tissue known as velvet. This tissue contains a network of nerves and blood vessels and is very sensitive. In the fall, the velvet is shed and the antlers harden. In the winter, the antlers are shed. Antlers should not be confused with horns. Horns are never shed and continue to grow throughout the animal's life. If they are broken, they won't grow back.

Deer have a great sense of hearing. They have a lot of muscles attached to their ears which allow them to turn their ears in any direction, without moving their heads. They can hear higher frequencies of sound than humans.The brown coat of the deer provides great camouflage in the woodlands. By standing still, they can go undetected by a passing predator. Fawns have a reddish-brown color covered with white spots, which help camouflage them and disappear when they are 3-4 months old. In the fall, deer will shed their summer coat and receive a much thicker winter coat. Deer have their eyes on the sides of their head, giving them a 310 degree view. This wide view does make it hard for deer to focus on a single point. Deer have a good night vision, which is useful in the early morning and near dusk. Deer have small teeth in the front of the bottom jaw, which they use for tearing and breaking apart food. They have no teeth in the front of the top jaw. Instead they have a hard palate, which is used in much the same way as teeth. In the back of the mouth deer have molars, canines and incisors, which are used for chewing. Deer are ungulates, which means that they have two-toed hoofs. They have long legs with powerful muscles and are able to run 40 miles per hour and jump 10 feet high. They are also fast swimmers.

India national flower

Lotus is the National flower of India. The Lotus symbolizes spirituality, fruitfulness, wealth, knowledge and illumination. The most important thing about lotus is that even after growing in murky water it is untouched by its impurity. On the other hand the lotus symbolizes purity of heart and mind. The National Flower 'Lotus' or water lily is an aquatic plant of Nymphaea species with broad floating leaves and bright aromatic flowers that grow only in shallow waters.

The leaves and flowers of the Lotus float and have long stems that contain air spaces in them. The lotus flowers have many petals overlapping in a proportional pattern. The root functions of lotus are carried out by rhizomes that fan out horizontally through the mud below the water. Lotuses, cherished for their tranquil beauty, are delightful to take a look at as their blossoms open on the pond's surface.

Nepal National bird danfe

The Himalayan Monal is the national bird of Nepal, where it is known as the Danfe. It is a relatively large-sized bird with reference to family Phasianidae. About 70 cm in length, the weight of males and females range between 1980-2380g and 1800-2150g respectively. Adult males possess a long crest, are feathered with multicoloured plumage throughout their body, while the females, like in other pheasants, are dull in colour with the upper parts covered with dark brownish-black feathers.

Yak animals

The yak is a herd anima;ls found in the mountainous regions of central Asia. The yak tend to gather in herds from 10 yaks to 100 yaks, most of which are female. There are only a few male yaks per herd.
Although there is a large domestic population of yak, there are only a few wild yak remaining . The yak is still used in many parts of central Asia, for pulling heavy farm machines and transporting large loads through the mountain passes.
The average male yak can grow to about 2meters tall, with the female yak being about 1/3 the size of the male yak. All yak have very long hair to keep them warm.
The yak belongs to the same cow family as the Asian water buffalo, the African buffalo and the American bison. However, the yak is slightly more like the American bison in appearance as both the yak and the bison have long hair in order to withstand the colder climates, the bison of the North American winters and the yak of the mid-Asian mountains.
The yak breeds in the warmer months of September and after a gestation period of nine months the female yak gives birth to a single yak calf. A female yak will occasionally give birth to twins but it is very rare. Some female yak give birth to a calf almost every year but it depends on the environment in which the yak lives and the yak individual. Yak babies are completely independent by the time that they are a year old and they are fully grown when they are between 7 and 8 years old. The average lifespan of a yak is about 20 years in the wild and slightly longer when in captivity.
Like other species of cow, the yak is a heibivore and spends a great deal of time on grassy plains in the mountains grazing on grasses, herbs and wild flowers. In a similar way to other cow species the yak has more than one stomach which the yak uses to successfully get all of the nutrients out of the plants that it eats.
The yak has firm, dense horns which the yak uses to break through snow in order to get the plants that are buried beneath it and the yak will also use it's horns in defence. They have long shaggy hairthat covers their bodies that keep them warm and dry.

Rat animals

The rat is a small scavenger mammal that has proved to be a pest in both urban and rural areas where rats are normally present due to an abundance of food. Rats are known to kill smaller livestock on farms, and there is the myth that you are only ever 5ft away from a rat at anytime.
The rat can also carry and spread disease to a devastating effect although diseases carried by rats are generally not passed on to humans. However, in the middle ages, the black plague wiped out nearly two thirds of the European population. The disease was not caused by the rats directly but was actually caused by infected fleas carried on rats.
The most distinctive difference between rats and mice is their size. Rats tend to be much larger than mice and it is because of this that new rodent species that are discovered are easily classified as rats or mice.
In the wild, rats are preyed upon by many different animals including snakes, wildcats an birds of prey. In some cultures rats are hunted and eaten as food by humans. The bandicoot rat is a stable and popular food source in parts of Southeast Asia but it is thought that the eating of rats has not become popular elsewhere due to the eating of rats being socially acceptable in other cultures.
Today, rats are commonly kept as pets all over the world and are thought to have been bred as pets since the 1800s. Pet rats pose the same health risks to humans as other household animals. so are not seen to carry harmful diseases. When tame, rats can be extremely friendly and can be taught to perform selective tasks such as doing certain actions in order to get food.

Rabbit invioromentproblem

Rabbits have been a source of environmental problems when introduced into the wild by humans. As a result of their appetites, and the rate at which they breed.feral rabbit depredation can be problematic for agriculture. Gassing, barres, shooting, snaring, and ferreting have been used to control rabbit populations, but the most effective measures are diseases such as mixomatosi (myxo or mixi, colloquially) and calicoes. In Europe, where rabbits are farmed on a large scale, they are protected against myxomatosis and calicivirus with a genetically modified virus . The virus was developed in Spain, and is beneficial to rabbit farmers. If it were to make its way into wild populations in areas such as Australia, it could create a population boom, as those diseases are the most serious threats to rabbit survival. Rabbits in Australia and New Zealand are considered to be such a pest that land owners are legally obliged to control them.

Rabbit

Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lgomorpha, found in several parts of the world. There are eight different genera in the family classified as rabbits, including the europan rabbit  cottontail rabbit (genus Sylvilagus; 13 species), and the American rabbit (Pentalagus furnessi, an endangered species on amami oshima Japan). There are many other species of rabbit, and these, along with piks and hares, make up the order lagomorpha. The male is called a buck and the female is a doe; a young rabbit is a kitten or kit.

Wild Dog

The African wild dog, also called the hunting dog, is a vanishing species in East Africa. Field studies have shown that the wild dog is a highly intelligent and social animal. Like most predators, it plays an important role in eliminating sick and weak animals, thereby helping maintain a natural balance and ultimately improving prey species. The stereotype of the wild dog as a cruel butcher is slowly being replaced by a less harsh image.

The African wild dog has a colorful, patchy coat, large bat-like ears and a bushy tail with a white tip that may serve as a flag to keep the pack in contact while hunting.Wild dogs live mostly in arid zones and in the savanna. They also are found in woodland and mountainous habitats where their prey lives.

African Elephant

African elephants are the largest land animals on Earth. They are slightly larger than their Asian cousins and can be identified by their larger ears that look somewhat like the continent of Africa. (Asian elephants have smaller, rounded ears.)

Elephant ears radiate heat to help keep these large animals cool, but sometimes the African heat is too much. Elephants are fond of water and enjoy showering by sucking water into their trunks and spraying it all over themselves. Afterwards, they often spray their skin with a protective coating of dust.

An elephant's trunk is actually a long nose used for smelling, breathing, trumpeting, drinking, and also for grabbing things—especially a potential meal. The trunk alone contains about 100,000 different muscles. African elephants have two fingerlike features on the end of their trunk that they can use to grab small items. (Asian elephants have 

Tiger habitat and range

The tiger is found in a variety of habitats: from the tropical evergreen and deciduous forests of southern Asia to the coniferous, scrub oak, and birch woodlands of Siberia. It also thrives in the mangrove swamps of the Sunderbans, the dry thorn forests of north-western India, and the tall grass jungles at the foot of the Himalayas. Tigers are found in the Himalayan valleys, and tracks have been recorded in winter snow at 9800 feet. The tiger's habitat requirements can be summarized as having some form of dense vegetative cover, sufficient large ungulate prey, and access to water.

The geographic distribution of the tiger once extended across Asia from eastern Turkey to the Sea of Okhotsk. However, its range has been greatly reduced in recent times. Currently, tigers survive only in scattered populations from India to Vietnam, and in Sumatra, China, and the Russian Far East. Tigers require adequate prey, cover and water. Their ranges vary in accordance with prey densities, from 4-150 square miles for females; 11-380 square miles for males. While females need ranges suitable for raising cubs, males seek access to females and have larger ranges.

Indian cow

The cow is a successful animal. Also he is quadrupud, and because he is 
female, he give milk,but will do so when he is got child.He is same like
God,sacred to Hindus and useful to man.But he has got four legs together.
Two are forward and two are afterwards.His whole body can be utilised for use.

More so the milk. What can it do?

Various ghee, butter,cream, curd, why and the condensed milk and so forth.
Also he is useful to cobbler, watermans and mankind generally.

"His motion is slow only because he is of asitudinious species.  Also his
other motion is much useful to trees, plants as well as making flat cakes in
hand and drying in the sun. Cow is the only animal that extricates his feeding
after eating.  Then afterwards she chew with his teeth whom are situated in
the inside of the mouth.  He is incessantly in the meadows in the grass.
