Story telling is an important part of Eastern life. Animals are the characters in the stories that are told to children .

 

Each one  of thanimals are  described to have some characteristic that are unique.

 

Fox character is always represent intelligent and cunning. Elephants are known for long and strong memory.

 

Crows are depicted as thieves and the one lacking self-confidence.

 

Monkeys imitate others. ThBull, Donkeys and horses are herbivores. They don't need stamina to run or force for hunting their food. But both are required for Carnivores animals to survive. But herbivore need to run for saving themselves from the attack of carnivores in the jungle. They are safe as long as they are among their herd.

 

They are reasonably safe in the company of human than being than in the forest among other animals.

 

But they need to  pay a price for their safety. They work for humans instead of free food they get in the forests,

 

Donkeys are considered wise compared to horses. But the donkeys are exploited by their master but they never bother about it.

 

Tigers and Lions are stronger and faster  than most animals among Carnivores.

 

Elephants are among the strongest. Their  weakness is their huge size that affect their fast movement.

 

They are more powerful than lions and tigers. Lions or tigers, as a team of two or three, are capable of killing a lone elephant.

 

The physical capabilities, the nature of food habit, by and large, decide the individual animal's mind.

 

You might observe that each animal specie has one unique mind! It is important to note that the mind of animals did not change from one another. It I used to be feeling great about scientists who virtually live in forests under hostile living conditions researching various animal species.

 

When I read the following story, I realized that the motive behind these scientists need not be the love of the species. To study them to enslave them.

 

Here is  a true story involving monkeys.

There are different types of monkeys living happily and enjoy their freedom in the jungles of Africa. These are in great demand in the countries world over.

 

They are caught and transported to various Zooparks, kept in cages for its life.

 

Like other animals, they lose their freedom and are does not change either with time or with place. There is no change in their behavior with generations of that animal too. Each animal specie has "one" mind.

 

It remains the same across several centuries. That makes their behavior predictable.
