Male Bengal Tiger: Can grow up to 2.7 to 3.1 meters long (not including the tail). Their weight ranges from 180 to 260 kg (397 to 573 lbs).

Female Bengal Tiger: Typically smaller, around 2.4 to 2.7 meters in length and weighing 100 to 160 kg (220 to 352 lbs).

2. Diet:

Bengal Tigers are carnivores, primarily hunting large prey such as deer, wild boar, and sometimes even smaller elephants or buffalo.

They are solitary hunters and prefer ambushing their prey, often stalking and silently approaching before launching an attack.

Tigers are also known to occasionally scavenge from other predators if the opportunity arises.

Bengal Tigers typically mate throughout the year, but their mating season peaks between November and March.

The gestation period is around 93-112 days.

A female Bengal Tiger gives birth to 2-4 cubs, usually in a secluded den. Cubs are blind and helpless at birth and depend entirely on their mother for survival.

Cubs stay with their mother for about 2-3 years before becoming independent.

In the wild, Bengal Tigers live up to 10-15 years.

In captivity, they can live longer, up to 20 years.

5. Habitat:

Bengal Tigers are found in India, with smaller populations in Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, and parts of Myanmar.

They inhabit tropical rainforests, mangrove swamps, and grasslands, preferring dense vegetation near water sources.

6. Behavior and Traits:

Bengal Tigers are known for their strength, agility, and stealth.

They are solitary animals and mark their territories with scent markings and scratches on trees.

Tigers are excellent swimmers and are often found in or near water. They enjoy swimming and can cross rivers with ease.

They have distinctive orange coats with black stripes, which help them blend into their jungle environments for hunting.

7. Conservation Status:

The Bengal Tiger is classified as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, with an estimated population of around 2,500 individuals left in the wild due to habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict.
