Abstract
Animals are the part and parcel of human life so in literature. Indian authors in most of the languages have represented different kinds of animals sometimes in negative and other time in positive ways. In literature it has been seen that most of the genres have represented animals in different forms. Various names of studies are prevalent related to animal studies. Anthropocentrism studies human beings as the center of the whole universe. It deciphers the importance of other creators in the universe. Ecocentrism studies nature and environment as the key to life on the Earth. Animals like, cow, horse, buffalo, tigers, bird, dog, cat, elephant, pig, bull, dear sheep, calf and many more have been represented since the emergence of literary practices. This paper aims to provide a brief note on how animals have been represented in the poetic expressions.
