Animal behaviour

It is said that human beings are above animals and birds as we are having sixth sense of thinking. However I feel that we could gather valuable information from the behaviour of animals and birds and discipline our life.

* Active - Honey bee, ant, jungle buffalo, deer etc.

You could observe that honey bees and ants are always active in searching for food and saving same. Jungle buffaloes, deer etc, travel miles in search of food and are always active in this regard. They never grab food from other animals.

* Gratefulness - Dog

Dogs are always grateful even if the masters ill-treat them later. We should be always grateful to those who had helped us. There are children who do not look after their parents when they become old.

This is not acceptable. You should be grateful to your parents who look after you when you were young and should look after them when they are old and helpless.

* Cleanliness - Cat

You could observe that cat, leopard, tiger etc. always keep the body clean. They even lick their wounds, so that it will cure early. Every human being must keep his body clean and wear clean clothes for a proper life.

* Unity - Crow

Unity shown by crows is unbelievable. Whenever they get food they eat together. Even if one crow is caught they take united action and get him free. We human beings always prefer to fight among ourselves and make our life miserable.

* Cornering the problems - Lion

You must be aware that male lions corner their prey and help their females to capture them.

This cornering ensures that the prey does not escape and also gets captured easily. Similarly we must corner our problems and settle them simply.

* Opportunist - Crocodile

Crocodiles keep silent till they are very closer to the prey and use the best opportunity to capture them easily. Similarly we also should wait for a nice opportunity and reach our target.

* Swift actions - Leopard

Leopards, Cheetahs are considered as fastest animal in the world. However, they do not run always.

They approach the enemy within a short distance and suddenly leap on them and chase till they capture the prey.

We also should achieve the target without wasting our energy.

* Exercise - Tiger

They say Isometric, stretching exercises were discovered from tigers. Tigers always stretch themselves at different levels ensuring proper exercise. We also can have proper stretching exercises for better health.

* Communication - Elephant

Elephants while moving as a herd have proper communication among themselves which help them to escape from danger.

Similarly we also must have communication with others for better benefits. Never keep yourself away from the society.

* Cunning - Hyena

Though fox and crow are considered as cunning creatures, they earn their food and do not resort to grabbing from others. Hyenas usually do not go for hunting, but grab their prey from other animals when they are tired after hunting. (Spotted Hyena may be an exception.) We also should work and earn instead of grabbing from others - no cunning.

I hope public at large could be benefited from this article. I presume nobody barks at me after reading this article. - S R Balachandran
