Panthera tigris tigris

Panthera tigris tigris is the scientific name for the Bengal tiger, a subspecies of tiger found primarily in India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Nepal. These majestic big cats are known for their striking orange coat with black stripes, powerful build, and hunting prowess. They play a vital role in their ecosystems as top predators. Bengal tigers prefer dense forests, grasslands, and wetlands, where they hunt large prey like deer and wild boar. Despite their strength, they face threats from habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict, making conservation efforts crucial for their survival.
