1. Read the following passage:

At ten o’clock the zoo gates open and the first rush of visitors arrive. As they come flooding into the grounds, everyone has to be alert. This is not to ensure that the animals do not hurt the people, but to make sure that the people do not hurt the animals. If an animal is asleep, they want to throw stones at it or prod it with sticks to make it move. We have found visitors trying to give the chimpanzees lighted cigarettes and razor blades. The uncivilized behaviour of some human beings in a zoo has to be seen to be believed.

Towards evening the visiting crowd thins out. The slanting rays of the sun light the cage where the ci 38 / 54 pigeons live. As the light fades, the robin ceases to sing and files off to roost in the mimosa tree. The Wall faced owls that have spent all day pretending to be grey tree stumps, now open large golden eyes. Shadows are creeping over the flower beds and rockery. There is a sudden chorus from the chimpanzee’s bedroom. You know they are quarrelling over who should have the straw.

In one of the largest marline life disasters on the Indian coast in recent memory, 46 car casses of whales were found washed ashore near the Tiruchendur beach in Chennai district early today while more than 250, which were stranded in shallow waters, were pushed back into the deep sea.

Of them, 35 could be rescued by forest department officials, fisherman and fire and rescue personnel and 46 died due to dehydration in shallow waters on the shore. According to the officials and fishermen in the area, 125 whales were found dead at Kallamozhi in 1973.

In April, the carcass of a whale was washed a shore on the Veppalodai coast, which was identified as a “Sperm Whale’ by a team of scientist from the Fisheries Collage and Research Institute (FCRI), but the mass stranding which happened now is a rarity.
