Letme Live 

In  the  serenity  of  lush  green  forests,  Marcus  was  having  a  peaceful  existence along with his two cubs and his tigress. He was  njoying his life in the forest with his fellow companions. 

Till one fine day when their peace was impeached upon by the poachers. The  whole existence of species of animals was challenged, as now  hey had to watch  their movement in their own homes. So much so, that Marcus lost his family in  an escapade from the poachers ..... and now he was left alone. 

Another  monster  which  caused  havoc  in  his  life  was  extreme  hot  and  dry weather. 

As designed by fate, even Marcus wasn't spared. Monsters of Global Warming,  Scarcity of Water and Loss of Habitat were lurking large on the forest. Marcus  fell in a semi-conscious state.
