Q. 1. Read the passage given below and answer
the questions/complete the sentences that
follow:
Sniffer dog Tucker uses his nose to help
researchers find out why a killer whale
population off the northwest coast of the
United States is on the decline. He searches
for whale faeces floating on the surface of
the water, which are then collected for
examination. He is one of the elite team of
detection dogs used by scientists studying a
number of species including right whales and
Killer whales. Conservation canines are fast
becoming indispensable tools for biologists
according to Aimee Hurt, associate director
and co-founder of Working Dogs for
Conservation, based in Three Forks, Montana.
Over the last few years, though, so many new
conservation dog projects have sprung up that
Hurt can no longer keep track of them all. Her
organization's dogs and their handlers are
fully booked to assist field researchers into
2012.
Dogs have such a phenomenal sense of smell",
explained Sam Wasser, director of the Center
for Conservation biology at the University of
Washington in Seattle. He has worked with
scat-detection dogs since 199(g). Scientists
have been using Conservation Canines in their
research since 199(g). These dogs have enabled
them to non-invasively access vast amount of
genetic and physiological information which is
used to tackle conservation problems around
the world. Such information has proved vital
