Visit to Dhangadi Museum (By Aroma Rawat)
On 15th March, we went to visit Dhangadi Museum during our school trip. In the morning after reaching school, we set out for Museum in our school bus. We did lot of fun, when we were traveling on bus to the museum, we sang many songs and ate lot of snacks which students brought with them. whereas we were not allowed to take snacks to museum, but even so we went on to trip with snacks. When we reached at the Museum. First, we saw a boat outside the museum, the name of the boat was Hamilton Jet Boat. Then we entered the Museum and saw animals like tiger, deer, elephant, pangolin and many more animals and birds but one thing about them as they all were dead. There was straw filled in the bodies of dead animals. They all were killed in some accidents. There was Panther who was a man-eater, she had killed humans and score of castles and then it was shot dead, another eye caching seen was of a baby elephant, who was killed in a stampede. In the museum, I like the stickers of tigers’ footsteps that were stuck on the ground to show the way to different part of museum. The most amazing and heart stopping moment was when we step in the room designed to create mid night seen of jungle, in the darkroom, there were many sculptures of animals, artificial grass, big stones giving and animal and insects voices that took us the planes of Corbett in the dark of night. After that we went to another room, in the room, there are some buttons used for listening to the sounds of birds and animals even at one point we can hear the sound of rain in the forest. Then we watched a movie in which a monkey was throwing nuts on us but unfortunately, they did not show us the whole movie, workers were not doing their jobs properly. Well never mind after that we move on to next room where dinosaurs are coming in the screen with us but the animations were not good, then we took some important points from the sign boards providing information about the museum. Then we went to a place looking like small river stream. When we were stepping on the floor all the herded away, it was eye soothing moment, then at last we went to the room where small and new-born babies of some animals were stored in a box, sadly those humble creatures were died in accidents. It was deeply disturbing to seeing the dead bodies of infant animals.
Finally, we came out of the Museum and sat on the foreground of museum and ate our lunch. Before boarding on the bus, we took some photos and made the day memorable and headed to return journey. On the way to school, we discussed all the features of museum and mad plans for future excursion. •Important

Until India realises that wildlife is an asset the killing will go on. A country’s fauna is a sacred trust, and I appeal to you not to betray your trust.

•Tiger-Tiger, an Apex Predator in the Corbett National Park is one of the major attractions for wildlife and enthusiasts. Corbett National Park has one of the highest densities of wild tigers in the world and this park acts as the only source site for the big cat in the western part of the Terai Arc Landscape. Tigers help control the herbivore population and thereby maintain the health of the forest.
