Answers
Answer:
. If you go by the chance to the jungles of the countries lying in the east, you will see a grand and majestic wild beast. If in those thick forests if you see a large and terrible animal with dark yellowish skin, you should be sure that he is the Asiatic lion. And if he roars loudly and the roar terrifies you to death, then you are hearing the roar of an Asiatic lion.
2. If you are roaming around in the forest and you see a noble beast, you must understand that you are face to face with the Bengal Tiger. This noble beast has black stripes over his yellowish hide. He is so quick that the moment you notice him, he will eat you at once. This is the simple rule of distinguishing the Bengal Tiger.
3. If you are walking leisurely in the forest and view a beast, it might be a leopard. His hide is covered with dark spots. The moment he sees his prey, he pounces upon it. His attack is sudden. There is no escape from him even if you cry with pain. He will continue jumping at you and start eating you before you understand that he is a leopard.
4. If you are walking around your yard, you may meet a creature there. The moment he sees you, he hugs you very hard. If he does it so, you must be sure that you are hugged by a bear. If you have any doubt in your mind, then he will just give you another tight hug. This hug may seem friendly but it can be fatal.
5. It is not an easy job for an inexperienced person to distinguish beasts
of prey. He will be confused in distinguishing them. He may not be able to distinguish between a hyena and a crocodile. Hyenas are very deceptive. They will attack their victims with weird smiles and kill. them. Crocodiles pretend to be weeping before attacking and killing their victims.
6. A true chameleon is a small animal. It looks like a lizard. It has no ears at all. It doesn’t have a single wing either. If you see
only this creature on the tree and not any other thing, you must be sure that you are seeing a chameleon.

The poet is describing the various wild animals in a very interesting and mysterious way. These animals are very dangerous, but poetess is introducing them one by one in a very funny way. First of all, she tells us about the Asian lion. She says that if you are visiting the jungles of the east and there we see an animal that has tawny skin and may roar that we may die out of fear. It means we saw an Asian lion. Next, she explained the Bengal tiger as a royal animal that at once attacks and kills a man. She says in a humorous way that if this beautiful black striped animal kills us and eats, then we have surely met a Bengal tiger. After this, she says that if we met an animal with black-spotted skin and it at once jumps on him, then it is a leopard. Also, she says that if one will cry out in pain, then it may be of no use as the leopard will not stop attacking him. Then she introduces the bear that she says will hug very tightly. Because in this way bear may kill a person by hugging him very tightly. Further, she asks a question to the readers that do we know the way of recognizing beasts that hunt their prey. Then she explains about hyenas having a smiling face always and the crocodiles which have tears in their eyes. It is quite visible when they are killing their prey. Lastly, in the list of animals, she introduces the Chameleon. She says that it is a lizard type creature which doesn’t have ears and wings just like a lizard. Only this information can help us to differentiate between a lizard and chameleon. She further says that the chameleon has a quality of changing its colour as per the colour of its surrounding and surface. Therefore, to explain this she says that if we look at the tree and if we are seeing the tree only, then certainly it means that there is a chameleon sitting on it. And it has already turned its colour to brown just like the branch of the tree.
