Well, we all know that tigers are the most ferocious of animals. They are also a symbol of divine power, beauty, and grace. But when is a tiger not a tiger? When it is a human being who lies in your arms and finally falls asleep. We will digress from this lesson to know what do tigers dream of.
In the past few years, I have seen many people struggle with the issue of Academic writing. Many students come to us, and often ask us this question: “Do my paper for me?” They simply don’t have enough time and energy to cope with assignments writing. Many of them are tired of spending hours on research, writing and formatting their papers. It really is a hard work! That’s why more and more students are asking for an urgent help with college essay from experts in the field.
What do tigers dream about?
We don’t know, but we can tell you what they think about.
Tigers are the largest of all big cats, and they are also one of the most mysterious. They live in the wild and are rarely seen by humans, which makes them all the more intriguing. Tigers have many different names: kitties, pumas and panthers among them. They are majestic creatures with spotted coats and big paws! Although they are strong and powerful animals, they can also be very gentle.
Tigers prefer to hunt alone or in pairs. They will eat almost anything from fish to frogs to deer! If a tiger does not eat for a long time it may go looking for food at night when there is less chance of being discovered by humans or other predators like lions or hyenas!
Because tigers are so rare in our part of the world, there is much mystery surrounding their behavior patterns and habits. Scientists have been working hard to learn as much as possible about these elusive creatures so that conservation efforts can begin protecting their dwindling populations from extinction – hopefully soon enough before they disappear completely from our planet forever!
What do tigers dream of?
“What do tigers dream of, when they take a little tiger snooze?” Most of you recall that line from the movie The Hangover. I was watching that movie the other day and it inspired me to write a blog about this topic. But really, what do they dream of.. what does any animal dream about? Do animals dream at all? These are all interesting questions.
After thorough observations and research it has been proven that all mammals as well as other species of animals do in fact have dreams during their dormant state. If you have a pet, at some point during their sleep you might have noticed them flinch or twitch and you might have probably credited this to their dreams. That is exactly the case. “All mammals share the same neural structures that are important in sleeping and dreaming.” This is why we know that just as humans do, other mammals dream.
Obviously we can’t talk to animals and ask them if they have dreams so we had to find out on our own terms. “There are two ways in which scientists have gone about this seemingly impossible task. One is to look at their physical behaviour during the various phases of the sleep cycle. The second is to see whether their sleeping brains work similarly to our own sleeping brains.” Animals have a similar sleep cycle to humans. They go through almost an identical process which includes REM sleep. REM sleep is the rapid eye movement stage of sleeping where all the dreaming takes place.
It’s good to know that animals dream but what exactly do they dream about? Similar to humans, animals dream about events that go on during their every day life. An experimental study was done on cats in which a part of the brain stem was removed. The part of the brainstem that was removed was the part that paralyzes the body during REM sleep, similarly to humans. During the cats’ sleep after the brainstem was removed, it was noticed that the animals walked around and acted more aggressively. “Some cats also show behaviour identical to predatory attacks, as if they were chasing mice in their dreams. Similar dream activity has been seen in dogs.” These are interesting findings to say the least.
I think that this research teaches us a lot about our own behavior as humans. The results found teach us that although we are extremely different from other animals, at the same time we have a lot in common. In some cases the more we learn about animals, the more we learn about ourselves. That is the beauty of science.
