Watching wildlife in Nepal By Trent Holden
Published: January 19, 2012 Accessed: January 19, 2012
Nepal has maintained some great wildlife till now -animals like tigers, elephants, monkeys, rhinos, bears, deer, crocodiles, leopards, river dolphins, and 867 species of birds can be seen just within Terai plains. Nepal's most popular national park is Chitwan National Park, and you can have really exciting adventure with the nature and animals in national parks. You can do the same animal-spotting trip you would do in Africa in Nepal, if you just replace lions with tigers. On of the most majestic Royal Bengal tiger is the hardest to spot. In Nepal, you can also see spotted leopards, greater one-horned rhinos, wild elephants, arna (endangered species of long-horned wild buffalo), and "the most famous" snow leopards that can be seen not in jungles but in the Himalayas along with red pandas, mountain goats, blue sheep, and yaks.
This article is quite like the one we did in journalism class for activity week. It just talks about the Nepali wildlife. Well, first of all, I just looked at the picture of rhinoceroses and clicked on it because I thought it was about their extinction. However, it wasn't.
Just to let you know, the reason I was so concerned was because rhinoceros used to be my favorite animal. I loved it. It is so big, cute, gray, and hard with really small eyes. Now, unfortunately, it changed to sloth. I always knew this animal but never got to know about its name until recently. And it's my favorite animal because it looks damn chilled out. Have you ever looked at its face? Look at its face for your face's sake! It looks like it doesn't give a shit about life. It's just so chill. Unlike you. You just care too much. I'll tell you one thing? One day you die whatsoever. So why so fussy about everything? Doesn't even matter anymore when you die. Y U NO CHILL? I swear chill the fck out, man!! It's alright. Really.
What the hell? It's so funny how you guys are so "oh my gosh" about every single fcking thing in life. Whatever, man.
Vocabs
Pristine
b. adj. - belonging to the earliest period or state : original / not spoiled, corrupted, or polluted : pure. Latin pristinus; akin to Latin prior. First use: 1534
c. Woodstock students, including myself, are pristine only individually. In school as a group, we act all different, because we can't survive it if we stay pristine - which is a reason why some really innocent students and teachers don't get along with our community.
Insurgency
a. While poaching took its toll on animal numbers during the decade-long Maoist insurgency, the latest counts show numbers to be on the incline.
b. noun. - a quality or state of being insurgent; rising in opposition to civil authority or established leadership : rebellious. A condition of revolt against a government that is less than an organized revolution and that is not recognized as belligerency.
c. I must admit I was pretty insurgent to not have submitted a whole essay but guess what? That was the very purpose.
Foliage
a. The density of their habitat combined with the foliage’s orange-brown hues keep these notoriously shy cats well camouflaged.
b. noun. - a representation of leaves, flowers, and branches for architectural ornamentation; the aggregate of leaves of one or more plants; a cluster of leaves, flowers, and branches. Middle French fuellage, from foille leaf. First use: 1598
c. the thick green foliage that outlines the hills around our school.
