The Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) is a majestic and powerful predator native to the forests and grasslands of India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, and Myanmar. These tigers prefer habitats with dense vegetation, water sources, and ample prey, such as deer, wild boar, and sometimes even smaller animals like birds and reptiles. Bengal tigers are solitary hunters, using their strength and stealth to ambush their prey, relying on their distinctive orange and black striped coats for camouflage in the wild. These magnificent creatures play a crucial role in maintaining the ecological balance of their habitat, underscoring the importance of their conservation.
