The latest survey gave encouraging news. The Indian population, at least, showed an increase in the tiger's numbers, to nearly 1900, up from 1400 a few years ago.
Other Bengal tiger populations were steady, or declining slightly.
The only predators Bengal tigers have are each other and man
Nope. White tigers and white lions are different breeds of large cats. Just like regular lions and tigers are different, and look different (male lions have manes, tigers have stripes for instance), the white versions of each are also different.
Lions live in Africa*. Bengal tigers live in Bengal- India. They do no eat each other because they live in different places. *Note: Lions do occur in India (Asiatic lion) but the range does not overlap that of the tiger so they do not meet in nature.
White Tigers, as well as all other tigers, are solitary and territorial animals but they are also social. The male and female tigers each have their own territories where usually one male territory overlaps several female territories.
Only at mating time, between tiger and tigress. Males fight over territory constantly.
All tigers communicate in two main ways.First and foremost is by vocalization.Tigers roar when they are traveling their territory,and the roar can be heard up to two miles.This is used to warn rivals that the territory is occupied,and to possibly attract a mate.Tigers also scent mark at various places around their territory to advertise their presence.This would also serve as a warning and to attract a mate.
In the wild, there are six different subspecies of tigers, which include the Bengal, Indochinese, Malayan, Siberian, South China, and Sumatran tigers. Each subspecies inhabits different regions of Asia, such as India, Russia, Southeast Asia, and China. Tigers can be found primarily in forests, grasslands, mangrove swamps, and rocky areas where there is ample prey and water sources.
Good question There are heaps of different tiger species such as, the white tiger, Bengal tiger (the most dangerous species of tiger), Siberian tiger, Indochinese tiger, Sumatran tiger, Caspian tiger, Bali tiger, South China tiger and the Javan tiger. Hope this answered you question (: There is one tiger species, but six living subspecies. Bengal, Siberian, Malayan, Indo Chinese, Sumatran, South China. Extinct subspecies are the Caspian, Javan, and Bali.
They are a combination of yellow and white color with yellow being the predominant color on the body and white in the belly area. There are black stripes throughout the body including the face and the tail.
The six recognized subspecies of tigers are the Bengal tiger, Indochinese tiger, Malayan tiger, Siberian (or Amur) tiger, South China tiger, and Sumatran tiger. Each subspecies is adapted to its specific habitat and has distinct physical characteristics. The Bengal tiger is the most numerous, while the South China tiger is critically endangered. Conservation efforts are ongoing to protect these magnificent animals and their habitats.
There is no specific data on the exact number of white tigers that die each year. However, white tigers are an endangered species and their population is declining due to factors such as habitat loss, poaching, and inbreeding. Efforts are being made to protect and conserve white tigers to prevent further decline in their numbers.
They communicate also by scent markings, scrapes, by scratching their claws down tree bark, letting other tigers know the area is occupied.
