welcome to The NOBLE

More than 200 Squirrel species live all over the world, with the notable exception of Australia. The tiniest squirrel is the aptly named African pygmy squirrel—only five inches (thirteen centimeters). The Indian giant squirrel is three feet (almost a meter) long. Like other rodents, squirrels have four front teeth that never stop growing.

Squirrels eat nuts, leaves, roots, seeds, and other plants, but also catch insects and even baby birds. Sometimes groups of squirrels work together to warn each other of approaching danger with whistling call. Tree squirrels, ground squirrels & flying squirrels (although they do not fly, they can glide from one tree to another) are three group of squirrels.

The Ostrich is the world's largest bird. They roam African savanna and desert lands and get most of their water from the plants they eat. Though they cannot fly, ostriches are fleet, strong runners. They can sprint up to 70 kilometers per hour. An ostrich's powerful legs can cover 10 to 16 feet in a single stride.

Ostrich kicks can kill a human or a potential predator like a lion. Ostriches live in small herds that typically contain less than a dozen birds. Contrary to popular belief, ostriches do not bury their heads in the sand.

The Atlantic bluefin tuna are warm-blooded, a rare trait among fish, and are comfortable in the cold waters of Newfoundland and Iceland, as well as the tropical waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Mediterranean Sea.

They can swim at up to 70 km/hr. They can retract their dorsal and pectoral fins into slots to reduce drag. Illegal fishing has pushed the Bluefin populations to the brink of extinction.

No life on earth is a fluke of nature. Each and every form of life is important for the balance on earth. Every living being has the equal right to enjoy this world. However, some human beings tend to forget this simple truth. They start to think that the whole world belongs to them and they can do whatever they feel like in order to enjoy. Animal cruelty is common everywhere, even in places where it’s prohibited. Although there may be laws against animal cruelty, its not highly implemented. Thus every year, there are several animals, including pets like cats and dogs, and wild animals, that are maltreated. In the world, many animals are abused or killed in every second.
But it's us who can fight against all this and can make a difference. The problem is very large & complex- it's common for individual to feel powerless, but every small bit we do counts a lot. Our small small steps can become life-saving for the animals. The kindness one does for the animal may not change the world ..... but it will change the world of those animals.

Few small things that can help:

Stop killer kites

India is a country of festivals, festivals are there for enjoyment, celebration & having fun, that enjoyment increases if we can spread the happiness, but in India, there are many festivals which are celebrated with flying kites or we can say them killer kites, but hardly few people know that this joy causes death to many innocent birds. People use manjha/kite string which is made of glass powder, so that the kites they fly don’t get cut easily, but what they don’t realise is that the same threads responsible for killing a lot of birds every year. Imagine yourself as a bird who flies in the open blue sky and suddenly your leg or wing is sliced off by an invisible thread. This is the manjha which is razor sharp thread that cuts the bird wings like a sharp knife. The bird falls on the ground, dies as it hits the ground or lying in agony for hours till it dies. This manjha also gets entangled in the trees and cause death not only on that particular day, but for months after that. The neck, legs, wings get entangled in that manjha and when they try to set them free in that effort they get themselves more entangled in that mesh of manjha and end up damaging their wings and other body parts, and then if the bird is able to entangle it's neck it will die there in few minutes otherwise it will hang there in the manjha and wait for death there for many days. Hungry bird babies dies due to starvation as their parents never return with food. So, please celebrate the festival spreading cheer and not death, don't fly killer kites and help us to spread the awareness.

Real Stories

VETERINARY CASE I was on my way to home. I saw a female Indian dog struck in between two vertical rods of the gate of my neighbor’s house. The bitch was lamenting since long. The people around told me that the bitch was struck in the gate for more than 2-3 hours. Many people tried to rescue her but all in vain. I have also tried to take her out but the bitch was more hurt on every little attempt. She was struck from the abdomen. The hairs of the struck part were also fall down and the skin over there became red and inflamed. There clicked an idea in my mind. I fetched Mustard oil from my home and poured all around her abdomen. Luckily a carpenter was also working in the nearby house. I called him up and requested him to help me in rescue of the dog. He started cutting one of the rods of gate with his saw. I put a sac around her head. After few minutes, the rod started cutting and we managed to bend the rod a little. Due to the mustard oil, the bitch slipped out from the gate. After coming out, the bitch sat down on the floor. She was in great stress at that time. Some of the people get some food for her, but she refused. After watching her condition, I brought Homoeopathic medicine ‘ARNICA MONTANA’ from my home and put it in the water container, and placed in front of her. She drank that water after a few minutes. She also ate some biscuits. Then after half an hour, she stands up, and started roaming around the street. By next 2-3 days, her condition improved dramatically. In a month, her hairs also grows. Next year, she gave birth to 9 healthy puppies. I was very happy to help her. -Dr. Nitin Gupta (BHMS) Shalimarbagh Delhi
