‘Razia, the Tigress’ in your own words.
Ans The central idea of this poem

plays with the cubs. He had a strong sense of smell and knew everything about
the winds. He also knew that the deer could smell his presence, if the wind
moved in their direction. To hunt them he crawled on his body, moved forward slowly,
followed a long circular track and hid himself behind a bush. When the deer failed
to catch his smell, he would pounce on it and crush its neck and horns. Razia

if left alone. But she is more afraid of poachers who carry guns and kill
forest creatures.

dreams.
