the news that we come across is about the Malabar Pied Hornbill and the Great Pied Hornbill, the larger of the birds in south India, and seldom about the smaller and lesser known Indian Grey Hornbill and Malabar Grey Hornbill. To understand the extinction of these birds, one will have to study about the farming practices in that area. The tribal communities in that area use the method of clearing forests and then farming. Due to their large numbers, large tracts of land are cleared away at once…

All of the animals think that he is talking to them. Once Mr. Peek figures out that he really had the wrong jacket the whole time, he walks back through the zoo praising…

Explanations of the operant conditioning theory can explain gender development, which suggests that reinforcement…
