This tiger is found especially in the Bengal region, but it is present even in northern India and Nepal. The Bengal tiger is the national animal of India and Bangladesh. They prefer to hunt at night because they can stalk and catch their prey more easily.

The hunting tactic is based on jumps up to 7 m long and on speeds up to 65 km/hour, along with the exceptional force that allows them to bring down the prey with a single pounce. It mainly hunts larger creatures, such as deer, wild boar, cattle and goats. It doesn’t have natural predators in its native habitat, but humans are the ones who put their lives in danger most of the time.  

After a gestation period of approximately 112 days, the females give birth to up to four cubs.

Unfortunately, scientists warned in a new study that climate change and the continuous increase of sea level could eventually endanger one of the largest, strongest and most powerful tigers in the world that have ever existed.

Even though the Bengal tiger is the most common of all the tiger species, it is considered endangered because of habitat loss caused by deforestation and hunting by humans for various purposes.
