Bengal Tiger

The Bengal tiger is a sub-species of the panthera tigris species. An adult Bengal tiger can weigh more than 250 kilograms and be up to 3 metres long including their tails. Every tiger’s stripe pattern is different, allowing researchers to identify individual tigers by their markings. Tigers are solitary ambush hunters, and live in a wide variety of habitats. Tigers are one of the few species of cat which enjoy water, and will fish as well as hunt.
