In the tall grass and dense jungle,

Lurks the Royal Bengal Tiger so agile,

With fur as bright as the setting sun,

And stripes as black as a night begun.

 

Their powerful legs and jaws so strong,

They hunt their prey all day long,

Deer, pigs, and buffalo too,

Their diet is one of a fierce carnivore's brew.

 

The pattern of their stripes is unique,

Helping them blend in, without a peek,

Into the forest they disappear,

Without a trace, and without a fear.

 

But alas, their future is in doubt,

For their habitat is dwindling, no doubt,

Human encroachment and poaching too,

Are the threats that make them few.

 

Conservation efforts are underway,

To protect the Royal Bengal Tiger each day,

Protected areas and anti-poaching measures,

Help ensure these tigers' survival pleasures.

 

So let us strive to protect and conserve,

This beautiful beast we truly deserve,

The Royal Bengal Tiger, may it thrive,

And continue to inspire us all to survive.
