Who Thought That a Human Could Be an Elephant?
We are aware that anything is possible in nightmares and dreams which we all see and even live when we are sleeping. But when you are awake and you see a man turn into an elephant, well that’s beyond your imagination, isn’t it? It’s befuddling to imagine but here we are, having at least one idol of Lord Ganesha in our houses! Humans and animals are entwined inextricably in this world.
Have you ever heard of a bird of paradise? There was a mention of it in my last English literature chapter: The Rumphius Story and a breed of a bird named Attenborough is one of them. It is known for its unique communication in all languages of the jungle. All of them! I know, right? It sounds impossible but the bird can actually produce sounds ranging from that of a lion to a parrot. It has an alluring tail with feathers assembled like a peacock’s back and that helps it to catch various noises and the littlest notes of the jungle. It repeats whatever it hears, to attract a female mate for reproduction. You wouldn’t understand if it’s a cockatoo or a kiwi because every tone it reproduces is very precise.
In this video, you can see that bird making the noises of chainsaw and cameras that it might have heard in the jungle. It’s an amazing world!
