	Scimitar babbler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The scimitar babblers are birds in the genera Pomatorhinus, Xiphirhynchus and Jabouilleia of the large Old World babbler family of passerines.
		Scimitar babblers are rangy, medium-sized, floppy-tailed landbirds with soft fluffy plumage.
		Most scimitar babblers are jungle species, difficult to observe in the dense vegetation they prefer, but like other babblers, these are noisy birds, and the characteristic bubbling calls are often the best indication that these birds are present.

		Intricate networks of interconnecting waterways, of which the larger channels are often a mile or more in width and run in a north-south direction, intersect the whole Sunderban area.
		In the Indian Sunderban, the western portion receives some freshwater through the Hoogly-Bhagirathi river system but that portion designated, as the tiger reserve is essentially land-locked, its rivers having become almost completely cut off from the main freshwater sources over the last 600 years.
		Thus, waterways in the Tiger reserve are maintained largely by the diurnal tidal flow.
