Bengal Tigers

The canine teeth of Bengal tigers may be 5 inches long on a male. Additonal Info: The Bengal Tiger's canine teeth are larger, and longer than any other of it's cousins in the same size range, such as the lion and the jaguar. In fact, they are the longest of any living big cat. They are on average between three and four inches in length. The Bengal's canine teeth are so vital to it's day to day hunting life that, many researcher's believe, if a tiger breaks one or both of their canines, there is a good chance the tiger could starve. For more details please see the sites listed below.

There is only one subspecies of Bengal tiger. However, there is speculation of at least two races in the Bengal tiger population. The tigers of Nepal, and the Terrai grasslands of northern India, tend to be slightly darker and heavier than those of southern India. The true Royal Bengal tiger is normally found in the southern race, and is characterized by unbroken stripes. It is a color anamoly, and not a different race.

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.

Bengal tigers get their energy from the foods that they eat. They are carnivores and must kill to survive. They eat animals such as sambar, gaur, wild boar, and sometimes peacocks and hares.

Tigers are critically endangered species. For decades man has hunted down Tigers for sport and for its skin and body parts. This has reduced the tiger number from sever hundred thousands to a few thousand worldwide. Though there were wide spread in many countries in Asia, they are now present only in isolated pockets of jungles in India, Tibet and Russia.

Poaching is the biggest threat to Bengal Tiger populations.

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

They hunt alone to get more meat

and they also find a creak to get water from

Well, if you think that tigers are beautiful animals, then maybe you'd want a tiger rug on your floor, or a tiger coat, or a tiger-whatever.

And as soon as someone is willing to pay enough for a thing like that, then there's someone willing to do what it takes to earn that money.

And tigers get killed.

no. Bengal tigers live in the rain forest or the desert. it is hot mostly year long in both of these places with little to no snow. This leads to no reason for the tiger to hibernate, which is why it doesn't.

Soil, rocks, and water make up the primary inorganic, or nonliving, parts of the Bengal tiger's habitat. Plants, such as grasses, bamboo, palms, vines, and a countless variety of huge trees make up most of the organic parts of a Bengal tiger's habitat. Animals that coexist with Bengal tigers include leopards, monkeys, crocodiles, deer, Asiatic elephants, rhinoceros, water buffalo, wild pigs, pythons, pea pheasants (peacocks), etc.

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.

the body covering of a tiger is black stripes.

Tigers can eat 40 pounds of meat at one time. After gorging themselves they can go several days without food. Tigers that are in zoo's eat about 10 pounds of meat with vitamins.

Yes. They are native to the Indian Subcontinent. The Bengal tiger is the most numerous of the tiger subspecies. Their populations are estimated at approximately 1,706 in India, 200 in Bangladesh, 155 in Nepal and 67-81 in Bhutan. The numbers are not exactly accurate and are only an approximation.

When humans remove an animal from the food chain, the predators and the prey of that animal are greatly affected. The predators die of starvation and the prey overpopulate. When the predators dies, the predators of those predators die, and so on. The opposite happen with the extinct animal's prey. It's prey overpopulate, then overkill their prey. Then the prey of those prey overshoot and collapse. Eventually these disturbances will make their way to humans in the the form of death and disease.

Apparently very high! In December 2007, a 300-pound tiger named Tatiana from the San Francisco Zoo escaped and killed one man and mauled two. The tiger's enclosure is surrounded by a 15-feet wide moat and 20-feet high walls.

Cats mark their territory by urinating on the borders.

Hope this helped.

Before I tell you, I want to make it clear it is illegal and can only be found in the Black Market. You can be arrested for illegal animal parts, and I'm sure you don't want that.

It kind of depends on the pelt. If it's in good shape it could be thousands. Some are about five hundred. So, even if you do buy it it's not cheap. So, I really suggest you avoid the Black Market and other tiger products (other endangered animals too).

It's not right to kill animals for body parts. Tigers deserve their parts because they need them. You, not as much as they do.

approximate worldwide population of 4,500 Bengal Tigers: most of which, about 3000 individuals live in India and Bangladesh. There are about 200 in Nepal and a small, unknown number in Northwestern Myanmar

Very Strong. Additional Information: The size of the Bengal Tiger, along with their build and structure has been designed by their environment, selecting various traits that increase the survival rate of the species as a whole. They are noted for being able to drag something five times their own weight for a great distance. Their strength is balanced with the need for stealth, agility, and flexibility, in order to catch and kill the prey of their region, such as deer, wild pigs and buffalo. Strength is only one of many factors that make a tiger truly a formidable hunter. Combined with all these factors, they have excellent eyesight plus their eyes are designed for strong night vision. They have unusually long canine fangs, even among tigers, for additional bite force to help kill large prey. They have very large retractable claws to help them climb, hold, and bring down their larger prey. Finally, they are camouflaged with the stripes, and have a long, powerful tail which helps them stalk, climb, balance, and pounce. The tigers strength is in all of these individual things combined together, making for a powerful, top of the food chain animal. For more details, please see sites listed below.

No, not closely. The Bengal cat is a hybrid breed of cat, formed by the cross of an Asian Leopard Cat and a domestic house cat. The Bengal tiger belongs to a different subfamily to the domestic cat.
