Chapter 2 The Inter-Relationships Between Living Things
Q: What are some of the specific needs of a tiger in order to survive in its habitat?
A: Some specific needs of a tiger to survive in its habitat include: tall grasses for hiding and hunting, access to prey animals such as deer, nilgai, and bison, a nearby waterhole that never dries up, and dense vegetation or caves for shelter.
Q: How do the stripes on a tiger help it to hunt?
A: The stripes on a tiger help it to blend in with the tall grasses in its habitat, making it harder for prey animals to see the tiger as it waits for an opportunity to pounce.
Q: Why do we keep animals?
A: We keep animals in order to satisfy some of our needs. They provide us with milk, meat, eggs, and other things. Some animals are useful for carrying burdens, drawing carts, or helping with heavy farm work. Dogs also guard our houses.
Q: What benefits do we get from domestic animals?
A: We get milk, meat, eggs, and several other things from domestic animals. Some animals are useful for carrying burdens or drawing carts. Domestic animals are also used to help with the heavy farm work in fields.
Q: What benefits do we get from plants?
A: Plants give us food grains, vegetables, and fruits. We also get cotton wool from plants to make cotton clothes. We grow plants that are useful to us, methodically. We sow seeds, make sure that they get water, give manure when necessary, and spray pesticides if they are attacked by insects. Plants satisfy our needs by providing us with many useful things.
Q: Why do we take care of animals?
A: We take care of animals because they become dear to us, and we look after them well. We feed them, take them to a vet if they fall ill, and they, too, return our affection.
