July 19, 2009

What difference does it make to the already traumatized animals if their day

turns into night moments after sunrise.

Having ****ed their lives making it a hell 24x7, you now want to see if

their behavior?

What happened to the hundreds and thousands of studies and reports on Prison

(Zoo) Inmates which suggest that their behavior is asking for nothing but

'CARE'.

Has CZA been able to provide them that?

Put them in a natural surrounding to study a natural phenomenon - that would

be a study.

Bhopal, July 17 (ANI): The Van Vihar National Park in Bhopal has

commissioned a unique study to know the changes in behaviour of animals

caused by solar eclipse.

The first total solar eclipse of 21st century will be visible in India on

July 22.

For this, the National Park has appointed officials at 23 points of the park

to observe the daily behaviour of animals, namely lions, tigers, bears,

leopards, hyena and others.

The officials will code the behavioural pattern of animals for a week before

the eclipse and then compare it with their findings on the day of solar

eclipse.

" For the study, we have appointed those people who are specially involved

with animal keeping. And since they are familiar with the animals'

behaviour, they will be able to know the difference in their behaviour due

to the eclipse, " said A.K. Khare, Deputy Director, Van Vihar National Park,

Bhopal.

In India, the eclipse will commence soon after sunrise.

Surat, Vadodra, Indore, Bhopal, Varanasi and Patna are ideal locations for

good views of the total solar eclipse. (ANI)
