summary

If by chance you go to any forest in the East and if a huge terrible animal comes to you and if it
roars loudly and if you are dying then you will come to know that it is an Asian Lion.
If a wild animal with black stripes on yellow hide welcomes you and eats you, then this simple rule
will teach you that it is a Bengal tiger.
When strolling if you see whose hide is covered with spots and it jumps at you and starts eating
you then you understand that it is a leopard. There will be no use of shouting with pain because it
will continuously eat you.
If you are just walking around in your yard and an animal meets you and it hugs you tightly then
believe that it is a bear.
You can differentiate between crocodile and hyena. Hyena always smiles but if tears come from its
eyes then it is a crocodile.
An original chameleon is like a lizard. It doesn’t have ears or wings. If there is nothing on the tree
then you will find there a chameleon.
