Tiger
Panthera tigris
Adult Bengal tigers inhabit tropical forests, mangrove swamps, grasslands, and riverine woodland across the Indian subcontinent. They are solitary ambush hunters that rely on cover, patience, and a short explosive rush to catch deer, wild boar, and other large prey. Strong jaws, retractile claws, and powerful forelimbs allow them to seize and pull down animals much larger than themselves. Their stripe pattern is individually unique and helps break up their outline in tall grass and dappled forest light.
