Four tones

C’era una volta un lupo, magro e affamato: erano diversi giorni che non trovava nulla da mettere sotto i denti. Un sera, passò davanti al cortile di una casa e vide un cane. Era un bel cane grassottello.  “Come mai sei così grassottello? Dove trovi tanto da mangiare?” chiese il lupo al cane.
“Il mio padrone è un brav’uomo: riempie la mia ciotola ogni giorno” gli rispose l’altro. 
Il lupo, però, si accorse che la pelliccia del cane, sul collo, era tutta rovinata.
“Cos’hai fatto al collo?” gli domandò. “E’ il collare: il mio padrone me lo mette di giorno, quando mi lega alla catena. La notte, invece, mi libera, così faccio la guardia”. Il lupo si allontanò e tornò nel bosco: preferisco mille volte andare dove voglio che avere la pancia piena ma vivere alla catena.

Morale della favola: la libertà non ha prezzo.

The number of tigers in India more than doubled between 2010 and 2022, according to a new study.

In 2010, there were around 1,700 tigers in the country — but there were almost 3,700 by 2022, the study said.

The study also said that tiger numbers had increased because the animals were better protected from poachers and because their habitats were better protected too.

The researchers added that the amount of contact between humans and animals has been reduced, and the country has made sure that the tigers have enough prey.

The researchers said the results show that, with the right attitude, people can make a difference.

Some people now want the country to spend more time and money on protecting other animals too.

Of all the tigers in the world, 75% are now in India, in an area of about 138,000 square kilometers.

But many of these animals live close to large numbers of people.

The researchers said some communities have benefited from the increased tiger population because it has meant tourists have visited the area to see the animals.

However, tiger attacks on humans do happen, and with India's human population growing, this problem won't go away.

But the researchers said the number of tiger attacks per year is quite small, and many more people are killed by leopards, wild pigs and snakes, and in car accidents.

However, while many have said that the increase in tigers is good news, others are not sure about the accuracy of the data, which was collected by government-supported agencies.
