How old can Bengal tigers get?
Well I know that the Bengal Tiger will be able to leave their mother at about 2 years old. I'm not sure if that is when they are considered an adult though. So if you need the answer for this question then you probably shouldn't go by this but i'm not positive. :( :) But i'm pretty sure that THE BENGAL TIGER IS AN ADULT WHEN IT TURNS 2 YEARS OLD!!! Thanks! Remember Jesus Loves you! :)
Why are Bengal tigers dying out?
Because of Humans. Ancient Chinese Medicine believes that Tigers body parts have medicinal properties. Because of this Tigers were killed extensively and indiscriminately. Because of this, they were pushed to near extinction. India, China and all neighboring countries where the Bengal Tiger lives have banned hunting and so, the tiger population is slowly recovering
What is the size and weight of the endangered Bengal tiger?
Tigers are large carnivorous predators. Adult Tigers can be as long as 11 feet in length and weigh upto 300 kilograms. Siberian Tigers are the largest species of Tigers and are much heavier than their Indian cousins the Bengal Tiger.
What damage would happen if the Bengal tiger species went extinct?
This hurts communities, habitats and other species which share the tiger's home.Tigers are at the top of the food chain. Other animals like deer wild pigs and guar's population would get bigger.
Does a male Bengal tiger look the same as a female Bengal tiger?
Basically, yes. But, there are differences. Males are heavier, averaging 445- to as much as 600 pounds in some cases, females are 290-325 pounds.
Males are from 9-10 feet long, females are from seven to eight feet long.
Males have a larger head, and a more distinctive ruff around the cheeks, more muscular body, and broader forefeet.
What is the reproduction rate of the Bengal tigers?
According to the following article:
K. Ullas Karanth, James D. Nichols, N. Samba Kumar, and James E. Hines, 'Assessing Tiger Population Dynamics From Photographic Capture-Recapture Sampling', Ecology 87: 2925-2937.
In Nagarhole, females give birth to three to four cubs per litter every three to four years.
My question is: what would the 'normal' tiger mortality rate be, if we subtracted deaths caused by humans?
Does pollution affect Bengal tigers?
Deforestation affects Bengal Tigers for the following reasons:
-> they are driven out of their habitat and have no where to live, and hence die out
-> Their prey is also driven out, and they have nothing to eat
-> tigers resort to hunting and eating human prey once their prey disappears, and this causes many unnecessary lives to be taken- helpless villagers living in rural areas and the tiger itself
AND so deforestation (and poaching)is causing the Bengal tiger is die out..!!
I hope my answer helped =]

What is the food source of the Bengal tiger?
Tigers are pure carnivores. They prefer hunting large ungulates such as chital, sambar, gaur, and to a small extent also barasingha, water buffalo, nilgai, serow and takin. Among the medium-sized prey species they frequently kill wild boar, and occasionally hog deer, muntjac and Gray langur. Small prey species such as porcupines, hares and peafowl are also hunted and form a very small part in their diet. Sometimes, they also prey on domestic livestock too that wander off into the jungles
What strategies are in place to protect Bengal tigers?
One major strategy being used to protect the Bengal tiger is monitoring the Bengal tiger populations and giving them a habitat to live in. These habitats are at least 1,000 square kilometres and have the food, shelter and water the tiger needs to live. These habitats are also free from most human activities. By monitoring these habitats, the researchers and conservationists will know what things need to be done for a specific group of tigers. Another key strategy that scientists and conservationists use to protect the Bengal Tiger is by managing the tiger habitat. This is managing the tiger's protection. They protect the tigers from poachers and other danger. They do this with the help of enforcement officers, staff and park guards who have been hired, funded, organised, trained, equipped and legally empowered to protect the tiger day and night. This would help the tiger population a lot and the tiger numbers would increase.
What is between Bengal tigers and a normal tiger?

Answer 2
There is however, a Bengal tiger.

Why is it important to save Bengal tigers?
Tigers are the top predator in the food chain that keeps the eco-system going in tropical jungles of Asia. When they vanish due to poaching and lack of habitat, they take away with them an important link in the food chain. Tigers help keep the population of herbivores like Deers, Wild Buffaloes, Antelopes and Omnivores like Boars in the jungle. Nature is finally balanced with the right proportion of predators for prey. By taking away one important predator, prey will increase at the cost of habitat which finally impacts mankind
What type of monkeys do Bengal tigers eat?
Tigers are pure carnivores. They prefer hunting large ungulates such as chital, sambar, gaur, and to a small extent also barasingha, water buffalo, nilgai, serow and takin. Among the medium-sized prey species they frequently kill wild boar, and occasionally hog deer, muntjac and Gray langur. Small prey species such as porcupines, hares and peafowl are also hunted and form a very small part in their diet. Sometimes, they also prey on domestic livestock too that wander off into the jungles
They stay hidden and move near the unsuspecting prey. Once they are near enough, they pounce and take the prey down. They go for the throat and strangulate their prey. But they do eat one kind of monkey but I can't remember what it is called. P.S. I saw it in the movie Planet Earth.

What is the future for the bengal tiger?
Whether tigers become extinct in the wild depends on whether the poaching of tigers can be effectively stopped. If it can, they have a chance, if we preserve enough habitat for them, and it may even be necessary to restore some habitat for them. If we don't do these things, they will probably go extinct in the wild soon. Thankfully, there are many in captivity, so even in that worst case scenario, there would be some tigers that could be returned to the wild once conditions were right.
What food does the Bengal tiger eat?
Bengal tigers have no predators, since they are an apex predator themselves. However dead tigers will be feasted on by flies, maggots, beetles, and scavengers like vultures.
