The Bengal Tiger The Bengal tiger is a carnivorous, mammal primarily from India. It lives in habitats such as the coniferous Himalayan Forest, the mangroves of the Sunderbans, the hills of the Indian Peninsula, or the forests of Rajasthan and Northern India. At one time Bengal tigers were scattered throughout Asia. Now they are generally found in India and some regions of Bangledesh, Bhutan, Nepal, and Myanmar.

Bengal tigers are very beautiful majestic animals. So, could you imagine life without them? They are native to most of Asia deep in the rainforests. They are being hunted to be made into rugs, and are losing their habitat due to deforestation. Can anything be done about this? ”The Bengal tiger (also known as the Royal Bengal tiger) or (Pentera tigris tigris), is the national animal of Bangladesh, and is considered to be the second largest tigers in the world.” [Bengal] Tigers give birth to litters
Nowadays a lot of animals are being hunted. The organism that I have chosen is the national animal of India - The Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris). It has a lot of physical adaptations like striped fur to camouflage, soft pads which allows them to walk silently to their prey, this allows them to survive in its habitat. They are nocturnal animals. WHY ARE THEY ENDANGERED? Bengal tigers are beautiful animals and it's really disheartening to watch them die! Hunters are hunting them for their skin and
successful show is the performances of the actors. To assess the performance of an actor there are many aspects that one must consider, I believe the most important to be vocalisation, physicalisation and characterisation. I will be critiquing The Bengal Tiger at the Bagdad Zoo, the story of the lives and afterlives of the people and animals caught in the middle of a war torn country, as performed by Persona Collective at the Annexe Theatre on the 10th-12th of April, on the performances of John Swindle
cage or giving birth while surrounded by cameras and people prodding at them. So these exotic animals, why are they being bred into wanna-be domestic creatures? The fact of the matter is that they shouldn’t be. Exotic animals, such as chimpanzees and tigers, should not be kept as pets. In order to combat the patchwork laws currently in place, we must uncover the truth behind the ownership of wild animals, the dangers of owning said animals, and why we must take a stand. The trade and breeding of exotic
character’s identity control them, but he examines how the environment can have profound influences on the way that his characters think, act, and carry on with their lives. In Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo, such an idea is evident in Tom and Kev, two American soldiers who are sent on an assignment to stand guard over a tiger at the zoo. Their dialogue is vulgar and often misogynistic, speaking about their desires to capture, kill, and torture the enemy. However, it is soon clear that these two are
Personally, tigers are one of the most beautiful animals. There are many types of tigers, some of them being the Bengal tiger, Siberian, Indochinese, Malayan, Sumatran, and South China. The Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers have faded into extinction. Tigers stalk their prey and when the moments right will pounce and attack them, making them a very aggressive animal.

CHAPTER 4 TIGER CONSERVATION INTRODUCTION “The Indian tiger has been the centre of attraction in the Indian jungles, as a big fame, during the last two centuries. Apart from Maharajas and Nawabs who had interest in hunting of tigers, the British officers, soldiers and civil officers were all keen on bagging at least one tiger before they retired. A few of them attempted to score a century of tiger heads and succeeded. Some even repeated the performance as many as 10 times, thus massacring over a
white tiger, also known as white Bengal tiger appears once in a generation. Some zoologists opine that an improper blend of the genes of the white tiger’s parents determines the singularity of this predator. Therefore, a white tiger takes birth due to the certain genetic flaw. However, this flaw makes him a versatile predator. It fashions him stronger and more agile than a normal tiger. The white tiger weighs upto 300 kg, and attains a length of about 3 meters. He can outrun the normal tiger even
The Nightmare Dreams are often visions of the conscience that hold the most truth. In the novel, Cracking India, by Bapsi Sidhwa, the narrator Lenny, has a reoccurring nightmare that contains much truth about the state of India. In Lenny’s nightmare, Children lie in a warehouse. Mother and Ayah move about solicitously. The atmosphere is businesslike and relaxed. Godmother sits by my bed smiling indulgently as men in uniforms quietly slice off a child’s arm here, a leg there. She strokes
Systems of governance and authority can have a profound influence on the development of human societies. For example, the major influence of the British Empire in the development of Indian and American human societies. All types of governments – from local politics to federal bureaucracies to huge empires – maintain their authority through specific techniques, including fostering a shared identity (nationalism), developing economic interdependence, and sometimes using overt force. Challenges to
Frantz Fanon (1925-1961) is a renowned postcolonial thinker known for his two seminal works Black Skin and White Masks (1986) and The Wretched of the Earth (1991). The latter is a paean on the cult of vociferous revolution and it unravels how anticolonial sentiments may address the venture of decolonization. Fanon delves at length how ill equipped are the former colonies to function as independent nations and proffers an excoriating criticism on present day bourgeois nationalism in third world nations

Outlaws! The word often haunts us, as we sit and ponder over it. Usually it brings with it, a sense of insecurity and fear. Sometimes after watching a movie or after reading a crime story, we are scared about going out alone, or sometimes, even in the house we have a feeling, as if someone is watching us. Why is all this? Why are we scared in our own house? Why are we scared to go out? It is because after watching so many movies, reading the papers and being aware about the crimes happening all
