Abstract
Sangam literature is celebrated as the traditional literature of Tamil. Contemporary scholars are re-reading the Sangam literature from a new perspective over time. Sangam literature can be called a biodiversity volume when it comes to ecological thinking. The creators of the Sangam period have identified the land-based creatures of his time in poetry. Numerous of them became extinct over time or have been renamed. In particular, the article discusses the search for a creature called Asunam that has been spoken of in Sangam poems, the poetic record, and the commentary of the narrators.
