Bengal tiger, also known as Indian tiger, is a very fierce beast. They like to be unique and often ambush other warm-blooded animals. This kind of tiger is the largest in the world, mainly distributed in Bangladesh and India, and is a cherished animal in these two countries. They are fierce and powerful, and they hunt a wide range.

Bengal tigers have a wide range of habitats, including Himalayan coniferous forests, swamp reeds, dry mountains of Indian Peninsula, dense rain forests and dry broad-leaved forests in northern India, and mangrove areas along the South Asian subcontinent. Often live alone, and only in the breeding season will males and females live together. There are no fixed nests, and most of them wander in the mountains for food. Can swim, not good at climbing trees.

Bengal tiger is the largest and most widely distributed tiger subspecies in the world. 1758, Bengal tiger was designated as the model species of tiger by Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus. Bengal tiger is mainly distributed in India and Bangladesh and is a rare animal in these two countries. Medog has a small cross-border distribution in China and Tibet.
