Yes, tigers are beautiful and fierce. But tigers are also big and heavy. This makes it difficult for them to hunt for food. Out of every twenty times a tiger hunts, it eats only once. When a tiger moves through the forest, **KHAU! KHAU! KHAK!** The langur calls, just like an old man coughing! **KHAU! KHAU! KHAK!** **AWOOOO! HAWOOOO!** The barking deer calls, like a scared dog! **AWOOOO! HAWOOOO!** **OOW! OOW! OOW!** The spotted deer calls, like a little bird! **OOW! OOW! OOW!** The whole forest knows the tiger is here! **AHUUUN? AHUUUN?** The tiger wonders, where has everyone gone? ## Picture credits - Rohan Chakravarty, CC BY 4.0 () - Rohan Chakravarty, CC BY 4.0 () - Rohan Chakravarty, CC BY 4.0 () - Rohan Chakravarty, CC BY 4.0 () - Rohan Chakravarty, CC BY 4.0 () - Rohan Chakravarty, CC BY 4.0 () - Rohan Chakravarty, CC BY 4.0 () - Rohan Chakravarty, CC BY 4.0 ()
