Bengal tigers live in India and are sometimes called Indian tigers. They are the most common tiger and number about half of all wild tigers.

Siberian tigers are the largest subspecies of tiger and can weigh up to 660 pounds (300 kg), making them significantly larger than Bengal tigers, which can weigh up to 550 pounds (250 kg).

Bengal tigers primarily hunt larger mammals including deer, wild boar, cattle gaur, and goats. Due to the size and power of the Bengal tiger, it has no natural predators in its native environment. Humans that hunt the Bengal tiger and habitat loss are the only threats to the Bengal tiger.

The Bengal tiger is native to temperate and topical Asia. They inhabit the forests and mangrove swamps of India, Burma, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Nepal. Excellent swimmers, tigers are probably the most water-loving of felines. Their orange coat with black stripes is the perfect camouflage in reeds and grass.
