About Wildlife Animals


Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts, rain forests, plains, and other areas including the most developed urban sites, all have distinct forms of wildlife. While the term in popular culture usually refers to animals that are untouched by human factors, most scientists agree that wildlife around the world is impacted by human activities.

Humans have historically tended to separate civilization from wildlife in a number of ways including the legal, social, and moral sense. This has been a reason for debate throughout recorded history. Religions have often declared certain animals to be sacred, and in modern times concern for the natural environment has provoked activists to protest the exploitation of wildlife for human benefit or entertainment. Literature has also made use of the traditional human separation from wildlife.

Some of the Wild Animals that really could not be found as in reality its only found on the history let me explain some of them.

Lion
  The Asiatic lion (Panthera leo persica) is a subspecies of the lion which survives today only in the Gir Forest of Gujarat, India.In 2010, the Gujarat government reported that 411 Asiatic lions were sighted in the Gir forest; a rise of 52 over the last census of 2005
The Asiatic lion is one of the five major big cats found in India

Tiger
The tiger (Panthera tigris), a member of the Felidae family, is the largest of the four "big cats" in the genus Panthera. Native to much of eastern and southern Asia, the tiger is an apex predator and an obligate carnivore. Reaching up to 3.3 metres (11 ft) in total length, weighing up to 300 kilograms (660 pounds), and having canines up to 4 inches long


Cheetah


  The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is an atypical member of the cat family (Felidae) that is unique in its speed, while lacking strong climbing abilities. The species is the only living member of the genus Acinonyx. It is the fastest land animal, reaching speeds between 112 and 120 km/h (70 and 75 mph) in short bursts covering distances up to 460 m (1,510 ft), and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to 103 km/h (64 mph) in three seconds, faster than most supercars.


20 Ways You Can Save Our Wildlife

  1. Do not buy bones, skulls, teeth, trophies or feathers of wild animals.       
  2. Do not think of our wild animals (such as wild boar and deer meat) as exotic food. 
  3. Don't think of wild animal parts as having medicinal value. 
  4. Do not think of hunting for wild animals as a sport. 
  5. Do not hunt for sale or trade in wildlife.
  6. If you have no other sources of food and are allowed to hunt animals for subsistence, do not hunt any protected or totally protected species. These are so rare that if they are hunted, they might become extinct.
  7. Do not poison the rivers when you go fishing.
  8. If you are fishing using jala (cast nets) or jaring (drift nets), do not use nets with small mesh sizes. We encourage the use of bigger mesh sizes as this allows juvenile fish to escape capture.
  9. Do not fish near the shore, especially in the mangroves. The mangroves are critical breeding grounds for most fishes and prawns.
  10. Do not keep wild animals as pets.
  11. Do inform the National Parks and Wildlife Service if you encounter illegal activities concerning wildlife. 
  12. Do learn about ways to conserve our animals.
  13. Make education your objective when you next visit a wildlife centre.
  14. You can contribute to wildlife conservation. Donate to a nature society or club. The contributions are often tax deductable. GIVE to SAVE!!!!
  15. Be a volunteer for a nature society or club. 
  16. Encourage your school, club and friends to have talks and debates on the values of wildlife conservation.
  17. Do take photographs of our wonderful wildlife.
  18. Encourage your friends and family to respect Wildlife. 
  19. If you have the option, think of wildlife conservation as a career. It is extremely rewarding.
  20. Finally, remember this saying, "In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught." Bring a friend to a Wildlife Centre and learn more about Wildlife conservation.
