Bengal tiger

A solitary feline, the Bengal Tiger is active at the same time as the prey it feeds on.

 

It prefers to hunt in a dense environment, which allows it to be better camouflaged.

 

Very good swimmer, the Bengal Tiger spends long periods in the water.

 

Some Bengal Tigers are born with a genetic mutation that results in a white coat.

 

Because of this very conspicuous color, these tigers do not survive in the wild.

 

Like other tiger subspecies, the Bengal Tiger is close to extinction.

 

Commercial hunting and habitat loss are condemning it to extinction in unprotected wilderness areas.
