If a Bengal tiger was introduced to Yellowstone, it would likely disrupt the existing food web. By preying on native species such as elk, deer, and smaller predators, the tiger could lead to population declines and changes in species interactions. This could have cascading effects on vegetation, other predators, and overall ecosystem health.

Bengal tigers typically reach sexual maturity at around 3-4 years of age. They have a gestation period of about 3.5 months, after which the female gives birth to a litter of 2-4 cubs. The cubs stay with their mother for about 2 years, learning how to hunt and survive before they eventually become independent.

Bengal tigers are apex predators in their ecosystems, meaning they are at the top of the food chain and play a critical role in regulating the populations of prey species. They have complex interactions with other animals including preying on herbivores like deer and wild boar, competing with other carnivores for food, and potentially scavenging on carrion. Their presence influences the overall balance and health of the ecosystem they inhabit.

in the wild, elephants will throw dirt and sand on their skin after a swim as a way to keep off parasites and from getting sunburned.
