the tiger

The Royal Bengal Tiger is the largest animal in the cat family.
They have a reddish yellow coat with black stripes.
The underside of their abdomen is white and their ears are black on the
outside with a prominent white spot on it.
The scientific name of tiger is 'Panthera Tigris'.
The origin of the Bengal Tiger is most likely Siberia.
From there, they migrated down south as the climate became colder.
The only place where you can find The Royal Bengal Tiger now is in the
land of its natural heritage, India. The Bengal Tiger ranges from 7 to10 feet
 and weighs around 350-550 lbs. You can find them anywhere in India except for
 in the deserts. The only problem now is that they are endangered.
They have been hunted heavily by man for sport, skins,
and as a source of traditional medical products.
At the beginning of this century it is estimated that there were over 40,000 tigers,
 today the number is less than 8,000.
The risk of extinction forced the government of India to initiate the
 'Project Tiger' in April 1973, when the tiger population was less than 2000.
 The main threats to tigers are poaching, habitat loss and population fragmentation.
 It is anticipated there are only about 4000 tigers left in India.

the rabbit

In todays career society not everyone has the same opportunities to succeed in

life.This may be because of various reasons like colour of skin , religious

beliefs or perhaps your social background.Some people live on the street and

everyday it's a struggle just to find something to eat.On our way to work or

school we are confronted with theese people but seldomly we act and really show

any kind of interest or compassion for theese people , who for some reason got

stuck in a moment that they can't get out of , and are now left out of society.

We often think to ourselves that we would'nt be able to live that way or never

would be able to do the things that theese people do to themselves and others.

But reality is very different when you are one of theese people and perhaps

we should'nt be too judgemental about them before

the rabbit's friend was called Raglan.He was a sort of sidekick to the crusader rabbit and

the name Raglan descends from an old Cartoon called Crusader Rabbit (L60-61) where

from a knife.We are never actually told why Raglan provides for Jeremy or why he

himself in Jeremy and can identify with the boy's situation that he helps him.

the panda

This assignment will discuss the decline of Giant Pandas and it will suggest
some solutions to this problem. Firstly it will analyse the problem and the
extent will be explained followed by why and where this problem is occurring
then it will suggest some ways to solve the problem.
    Giant Pandas are endangered. Their numbers are decreasing with
around 1000 left in the wild. Giant Pandas are hunted for fur, their main food source is
dwindling and farmers are invading their habitat leaving the pandas helpless.
Poachers have been hunting pandas for years. There were 145 pandas killed
in 1974, 72 killed in 1986 and in 1987 133 poachers were caught hunting the
Giant panda. Laws are becoming stricter on poachers and if caught, they are put
to a death sentence. There are only isolated patches of bamboo left. Once every
fifteen to 120 years depending on the species bamboo flowers and after the
bamboo flowers it dies.

the lamb

In the poem “The Lamb” by William Blake, Blake writes about a boy talking to
a little lamb and the boy is asking the lamb question about who made the lamb.
The poem “The lamb” creates a poetic tension between the natural lamb and the
supernatural lamb that reflects the Dionysian/Apollonian duality.
The poet creates poetic tension by constructing two opposite forces
 in a poem and contrasting them. Theses two forces can be defined as
 the Dionysian and Apollonian duality. According to Nietzsche the terms Dionysian
 and Apollonian were borrowed from the two art deities Apollo and Dionysus
of the Greeks. Apollonian represents the art of sculpture while
Dionysian represents the art of music. Both of these dualities run parallel to
each other and create tension in a poem when contrasted.
Blake is able to create a tension by comparing the natural lamb to
the supernatural lamb, which is Jesus. In the first stanza Blake writes
about the Dionysian aspect of the duality. The little boy asks the natural lamb
 if he knows who made the lamb “Little lamb who made thee? Dost thou know
who made thee?” After receiving no answer he proceeds to give characteristics
of the natural lamb. The boy gives characteristics such as “Gave thee clothing of
delight, softest clothing wooly bright;” and “ Gave thee such a tender voice,”
both of these characteristics are meant to make the natural lamb seem meek,
mild and innocent. After telling the lamb of its characteristics the boy goes on
to ask the lamb again who made the lamb “Little lamb, who made the?
Dost thou know who made thee?”

the horse

Mari Sandoz grew up near an Indian reservation in South Dakota.
As a child she listened to indian stories told by her ancestors and neighbors.
She heard many stories about a Sioux warrior named Crazy Horse.
 When Mari grew older she researched Crazy Horses life. Mari Sandoz
eventually wrote the biography of this great Sioux warrior named Crazy Horse.
The biography she wrote traces the life of Crazy Horse from boyhood to the last
days of the warriors life.
    As a small boy, Crazy Horse is known by the name Curly.
He was given this name because of his brown, curly hair. He was also known for
his lightly colored skin. Many white women thought that he was captured by the
Indians because his skin was so light.
    Curly grew up in the Great Plains of central, North America, in the
Oglala tribe of the Sioux Indians. Curly looked to his father Crazy Horse
(eventually Worm) and a friend named Hump, for guidance and knowledge.
 He learned to become a great fighter by watching his elders.
During his childhood, Curly saw the Indians betrayed by the "white people" in
many ways. Curly comes to the conclusion at a young age, that he cannot trust the
 white people. The white men were taking over the sacred lands of the Indians,
by moving the Indians to useless land.

the girrafe

Since Darwin first dictated his theory of natural selection, only one plausible
hypothesis for the evolution of the giraffe’s towering height could be reasoned.
 The long neck of the giraffe evolved to allow access to plant material unavailable
 to its shorter competitors. Thus, over time, interspecific competition provided
enough pressure to allow the giraffe to occupy an empty niche: the tops of trees.
It seems the only reasonable evolutionary explanation of a giraffe’s neck must have
to do with feeding . . . or is it?
    The interspecific feeding competition hypothesis for the giraffe’s neck was
first proposed by Darwin (Freeman and Herron 2001). In simplified form it
states that the neck of giraffes evolved due to interspecific competition for food.
This selective pressure over time allowed giraffe decedents with longer necks
(directly correlated to food gathering abilities) to survive over those with
shorter necks. After millions of years, the giraffe decedents surviving have
the massive height which we see today.
    Although the interspecific feeding competition hypothesis seems obvious,
it lacks data to support it.

the camel

More than 3,000 years ago an ungainly but useful desert aimal was
domesticated in Arabia. It was the Arabian camel, a long-legged beast
withone large hump on its back. It could cross hot deserts without needing much
 water, and it could carry heavy loads without tiring. The two-humped Bactrian
 camel of central Asia was also domesticated long ago. It is sturdier than the
Arabian and can carry heavier loads. During the winter, its brownish hair is thick
 and long for protection from the cold nights. It sheds is hair in patches in the
spring, as the weather warms up. Camels are hornless hoofed mammals.
Their hoofs are like leathery pads. Their toes spread apartwhen they walk on
sand o snow. Camels are called"ships of the desert" because they sway from
side to side when they walk and carry loads. Some camels are trained for riding.
They kneel to allow riders to mount. A camel saddle must fit over the large single
hump or between the two smaller humps. A special breed of Arabian camel, the
dromedary, has been developed for riding and racing. It has longer legs and weighs
 less than a regular "baggage" camel. It can run at speeds up to 10 miles per hour.
A camel's hump is a large deposit of fat. The camel's body uses the fat as food
when plant food is not available during long desert treks.
