Panthera tigris tigris
Panthera tigris tigris, commonly known as the Bengal tiger, is a subspecies of tiger found primarily in India, with smaller populations in Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan. It is recognized for its striking orange coat with black stripes, which helps it blend into its natural habitat of forests and grasslands. Bengal tigers are the largest of all tiger subspecies, with males weighing between 400 to 500 pounds.
These tigers are solitary animals and are known for their powerful hunting skills. They primarily prey on large ungulates such as deer and wild boar. Conservation efforts are crucial for their survival, as habitat loss and poaching have significantly reduced their numbers in the wild.
