By Tanisha Kumari

Street dogs barking all night is not random, it is instinctive behavior rooted in survival, communication and protection. Quieter nights amplify sounds making dogs more alert. They bark to guard territories, warn packs, express hunger or stress, react to sudden disturbances and during mating seasons.

The line between the two is thin, emotional, and often misunderstood. Some breeds are naturally independent but deeply devoted, while others struggle to function without constant human reassurance. Knowing the difference matters more than we think, because it affects training, mental health, and even how happy your pet feels when you are not around.

Many‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ people who have cats in their homes are thinking in their minds whether their cats consider them as parents or just as the ones who put food in the bowl.

How Birds Travel Thousands of Kilometres Without GPS
How Birds Travel Thousands of Kilometres Without GPS

By Aparna Jha

Birds migrate thousands of kilometres without human tools like GPS by using complex biological navigation systems. They combine innate instincts, environmental cues, and natural compasses to orient themselves during long journeys. These mechanisms include sensing the Earth’s magnetic field, using the sun and stars, recognising landmarks, and forming mental maps through experience. Scientists study these processes to better understand and conserve migratory species.
