    Bengal Tigers

    The Bengal Tiger, native to India and neighbouring regions, is a distinctive big cat known
    for its orange coat with black stripes. Thriving in diverse habitats, from dense forests to
    open grasslands, these tigers are adept swimmers, particularly in areas like the Sundarbans
    Delta. As apex predators, they play a crucial role in ecosystem balance by preying on
    herbivores. Facing threats like habitat loss and poaching, conservation efforts aim to protect
    their habitats and promote coexistence with local communities.
    Predator??

    The tiger is a carnivore and prefers hunting large ungulates such as gaur, sambar, chital,
    barasingha, water buffalo, nilgai, serow and takin. Medium-sized prey includes wild boar,
    Indian hog deer, Indian muntjac and northern plains grey langur.
    They are ENDANGERED!!

    ■ Its Natural Environment


    Bengal tiger, (subspecies Panthera Tigris Tigris), subspecies of tiger (Pantheria Tigris)
    inhabiting the hot and humid forests, and wetlands of India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Nepal
    .
    How are they Endangered?

    ■ What negative effect are people causing this animal at risk?


    Tigers have lost an estimated 95% of their historical range. Their habitat has been
    destroyed, degraded, and fragmented by human activities. The clearing of forests for
    agriculture and timber, as well as the building of road networks and other development
    activities, pose serious threats to tiger habitats.
    ■ Describe how the animal is at risk
    Bengal tigers are in danger because people are cutting down their homes, fighting with
    them, and hunting them for their body parts. The weather changing and pollution also make
    it hard for them to live.
    Save Tigers

    ■ Suggest how people can change their behaviour to make the animal safe again
    People can help Bengal tigers by supporting efforts to keep them safe. Choose responsible
    tourism, like visiting places that treat animals well. Tell others about the problems tigers
    face, and how everyone can help. Use less energy to reduce the impact on their homes.
    Respect the paths tigers use to move around and support laws that protect them. Don't buy
    things made from tigers, and help stop illegal hunting. These actions, when done together,
    can make a big difference in saving Bengal tigers.
