In the poem "How to Tell Wild Animals," each animal is identified by its unique, defining characteristic linked to its very nature. The Bengal tiger is known for its ferocious attack; the bear hugs its victim to death. The leopard springs on prey, the crocodile weeps while devouring, and the chameleon changes colour. The poet humorously shows that each creature's identity is inseparable from its instinct — its defining trait is not just a habit but the very expression of what it is.
The question asks you to connect the theme of "unique characteristics linked to nature" to the poem. Focus on 2–3 animal examples with their defining traits and conclude with the central idea. Examiners expect textual references to specific animals and a brief thematic statement. Avoid listing all animals — be selective and crisp within the word limit.
