Bengal Tiger
Majesty of the jungle
The Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) is a majestic big cat native to the Indian subcontinent. Renowned for its striking orange coat with black stripes, it is among the largest tiger subspecies. Primarily found in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan, the Bengal tiger inhabits diverse environments, from grasslands to tropical forests. Conservation efforts have led to a significant increase in their population, with India’s tiger numbers rising from 1,706 in 2010 to approximately 3,682 in 2022. Despite this progress, Bengal tigers remain endangered, facing threats like habitat loss and poaching.
