Talk About Your Favourite Wild Animal Cue Card

Where did you first see it?

The first sight of deer I witnessed was in the Kaziranga National Park. On the other hand, I was excited to witness the sights of other wild animals such as the tiger, rhino and others. But the Deer had me enchanted. It has the prettiest eyes and I was mesmerised by it. I even got to click a picture with the deer standing on the jeep during the safari. The deer was with its own family roaming around the forest eating grass. The entire group of deer was very beautiful. Considering I was only 12 years old when I first saw the deer, I was pretty much enchanted. I remember telling my mother if I could have a deer stuff toy for myself. I still have it at home

What did you know about it?

Deer are one of the wild animals in the jungle which is a herbivorous animal. I knew about its long legs and ears which are its physical features. However, one of the most unique features of the deer which I knew before I first saw it is its antlers. These are further the most unique features of these wild animals. In terms of their emotional characteristics, deer are the most sensitive creatures in the wild. They are quite observant and are responsive in terms of others’ feelings. They are quite helpful animals as they are able to empathise with others who are in need. They became extinct and one can only see them in national parks or zoos. People started hunting Deer for their horns. They sell their horns for a high price which benefits them. I love seeing Deer because it makes me mesmerized.

The first time me witnessing the sight of an elephant was in the Jim Corbett National Park. We took a morning safari which was basically an elephant safari. I was 15 years old and for the first time, I was about to sit on the elephant’s back. I was extremely excited and even nervous. With the help of the people who took us on the safari, I sat on the elephant’s back with my mother and father and the Guide. The elephant was extremely soft and moved with such ease and slowly. I enjoyed the entire tour of the elephant. When we stopped for a break, I even gave bananas to the elephants which they took and swallowed instantly. I also clicked pictures as well as I was able to love and cuddle with the elephants.

Elephants are the most loveable and highly sensitive animals in the world. Animals are the largest animals in the world. Elephants are extremely expressive creatures and are able to show huge amounts of emotions like grief, fear, anger, love, and even compassion. Through the sense of touch, it is possible for the elephants to show their emotional intelligence. The most common characteristic of elephants being wild animals is that they are herbivores and depend on them. Their empathic behaviour is expressed by the animals based on their helpful attitude, especially towards other elephants. Elephants were also hunted for their teeth because those are sold at high prices to make ornaments.

The baby Elephant is so sensitive and cute that it makes me happy to see the baby enjoy it.

Where did you first see it?

The first time I saw a tiger was in the forest where I went camping with my friends. It was part of our college trip where all the students along with college professors went camping for three days in the forest area. With the utmost help from the government and the forest department, we were able to experience a camping trip. During our trip, we were able to experience various wild animals in the forest including a tiger, a wild boar, snakes and even deer and elephants. While we went roaming around the forest region in the forest of Ranthambore, I saw the tiger taking a rest and relaxing with its cubs. It was scary and yet quite amazing. I was quite excited about the tiger which I felt was one of my most exciting experiences.

Tiger is a wild carnivore that depends on the meat of other animals for survival. It is one of the most feared animals having a sharp wit and an eye for its kill. It hunts especially at night and focuses on its prey with tender feet. It is fast and has the enormous speed to kill its prey from a distance. However, tigers are one of the most endangered species in the world and India has only a few ones left in its wild areas. They are conserved by national parks and wildlife sanctuaries. There was a time when such animals were seen commonly in forests. But nowadays they are caved in zoos or preserved in national parks.
