, also known as the Indian Tiger, is one of the most majestic and charismatic big cats on the planet. These large felines are native to the Indian subcontinent and are the most numerous tiger subspecies, with an estimated population of around 2,500 individuals.
The Royal Bengal Tiger is a carnivorous predator, feeding mainly on deer, wild pigs, and buffalo. They are also known to hunt other animals such as monkeys, birds, and reptiles. Their strong jaws and sharp teeth, combined with their powerful legs and muscular body, make them incredibly efficient hunters.
These tigers are famous for their distinctive orange fur with black stripes. The pattern of the stripes is unique to each individual, and scientists can use these stripes to identify individual tigers. Their fur also helps them blend into their surroundings, providing camouflage in the tall grasses and forests where they live.
Unfortunately, the Royal Bengal Tiger is also one of the most endangered big cats in the world, with habitat loss and poaching being the main threats to their survival. Their habitat is being destroyed at an alarming rate due to human encroachment, and poaching for their bones, skin, and other body parts is a major issue.
Conservation efforts are underway to protect the Royal Bengal Tiger, including the establishment of protected areas and the implementation of anti-poaching measures. These efforts have helped stabilize some populations, but more work is needed to ensure the long-term survival of this magnificent animal.
In conclusion, the Royal Bengal Tiger is a fascinating and beautiful animal, but sadly, it is also endangered. We must continue to work towards protecting and conserving this species to ensure that future generations can admire and appreciate these majestic creatures in the wild.

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.

Through jungle deep and rivers wide,
A tiger moves with fearsome stride.
Its golden coat with stripes so bold,
A tale of strength and grace untold.
Its eyes like fire, fierce and bright,
They pierce the silence of the night.
With every step, the earth does bow,
A king beneath the ancient bough.
Yet whispers tell of dwindling space,
Of forests lost without a trace.
Man’s greed has left its kingdom small,
A fading echo, a dying call.
But hope still shines, a future near,
Where tiger roars will fill the ear.
If hands unite and hearts ignite,
The tiger’s fate may yet burn bright.

Through emerald forests, thick and deep,
A striped king walks where shadows sleep.
The rustling leaves, the whispering trees,
Bow in silence as he weaves.
His paws imprint the damp, dark earth,
A silent tale of strength and worth.
Amber eyes, so fierce, so wise,
Hold the echoes of ancient skies.
But roads now carve through sacred ground,
His kingdom shrinks without a sound.
The rivers murmur, winds lament,
A fate unwritten, yet imminent.
Will the jungle hear his roar,
Or shall it fade forevermore?

Much like humans, tigers possess binocular vision, a remarkable trait that grants them the ability to accurately gauge distances. This intricate depth perception is pivotal for their stealthy maneuvers, enabling precise pouncing and jumping actions during hunts. Unlike some other predators whose eyes are positioned on the sides of their heads, tigers' forward-facing eyes contribute significantly to their three-dimensional perception and depth estimation.
Predominantly active during the evening and night, tigers capitalize on their superior night vision, which surpasses human capabilities by about sixfold. This heightened nocturnal sight aids them in capitalizing on the compromised vision of their prey during these darker hours.
The design of a tiger's eye is truly an evolutionary marvel. Its wide and rounded pupil maximizes light intake when required, allowing for enhanced visibility in low-light conditions. Additionally, the anterior chamber and lens of their eyes are notably larger, optimizing their ability to gather available light.
What truly sets their vision apart, however, lies within their retina. Tigers possess a higher concentration of rod receptors, specialized cells highly sensitive to minimal light levels and adept at detecting subtle movements. While they do have some cone cells for color perception, it's believed these are primarily utilized for day vision, not to discern a wide spectrum of colors. In fact, some evidence suggests that tigers may perceive their surroundings in a limited color range, possibly seeing muted shades of greens, blues, and reds, or even in monochrome.
This intricate adaptation of their visual system serves as a cornerstone for their prowess as stealthy predators, allowing them to navigate and hunt efficiently in the cover of darkness, ensuring successful and swift captures of their prey.

Tschuna, the stunning Amur tiger at Yorkshire Wildlife Park, has an incredible story that captures the hearts of visitors. Born in 2010 at Germany’s Halle Zoo, she was sadly rejected by her mother at birth. Fortunately, Tschuna was hand-reared by keepers, giving her the special care and attention she needed to thrive. In 2012, she arrived at YWP as part of the European Breeding Programme, which works to protect the critically endangered Amur tiger. Tschuna has become a symbol of resilience and a vital ambassador for tiger conservation. Her striking beauty and powerful presence are unforgettable, making her a favourite for wildlife photographers and animal lovers alike.
This montage is based on four of my own photographs, taken at ZSL London Zoo on 1st April 2014.
Featuring Melati and her three cubs (two male; one female), who were born 3rd February.
Melati was born at Perth Zoo, Australia. The cubs' father is Jae Jae, who was born at San Francisco Zoo. He was then moved to Akron Zoo, Ohio, before subsequently arriving at ZSL London Zoo.
As there are only about 300 panthera tigris sumatrae left in the wild, my montage is a celebration of new life for this critically endangered species.

Amur Tiger Cub Milashki

Woburn Safari Park has five Amur tigers, living in the Kingdom of the Carnivores, Elton, born June 2011 and Minerva, born October 2011 and two little Tiger Cubs, Mishka and Milashki, born in September 2016.
Amur tigers (from a region of Siberia) are the largest of the big cat species and are renowned for their power and strength. There are only an estimated 400 to 500 Amur tigers living in the wild, in the birch forests of Eastern Russia.
Each tiger has a unique patterned coat which provides camouflage while hunting. Like the human fingerprint, no two coats are the same.
Amur tigers face a number of threats, all of which result from conflict with humans. Poaching is the main threat.
Tigers are surrounded by myths and in some cultures it is mistakenly believed their bones, claws, teeth and other body parts provide healing benefits. As a result, tigers’ body parts are extremely valuable on the black market. Tiger skin is also popular in the fur trade industry.
Tiger populations are under threat due to loss of habitat. As more and more land is claimed by humans for urban and agricultural use, tiger territories are reduced and their food sources are affected. Whether land is flattened for new buildings or claimed for farming, tigers are forced into new areas that might not provide a sustainable food sources.
Conservation projects are either undertaken in India and Asia, as well as in zoos and safari parks. Conservation projects around the world include ‘Born Free’, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and ‘Tiger Awareness, education of how humans can live alongside tigers.

There was a moment, where the dense forest provided beautiful lighting. Trees made sure that the light of the rising sun lit up the tracks unevenly. A mix of dark and light regions can be a nightmare to meter, but I knew I wanted this shot. I saw the tiger moving around in shade, and when I saw this spot, I knew I had to get this shot. Quickly switched the metering, and other settings - what I was not prepared for was the tiger being blinded by the light because of which he closed his eyes! :) So much for planning and execution. :)
