BENGAL TIGER: FACES EXTINCTION
The Bengal Tiger is a large, striped cat from India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, and Burma. It lives in a variety of habitats, including rainforests and dense grasslands. The Bengal tiger is a carnivore (meat-eater). It is very patient and has a strong sense of smell. It also has a great vision, which helps it to hunt during the nighttime. Bengal tigers can also swim and move quite swiftly in the water. The tiger often kills its prey with a bite on the neck. It eats deer, pigs, antelopes, cattle, young elephants, and buffalo. Sometimes it also captures birds, lizards, turtles, fishes, frogs and crabs.
Bengal tigers are also called as Indian tiger; they are the most numerous in population than any other tiger subspecies. They were killed as a part of sport carried out by Indian and British royalties.
Tigers are rapidly decreasing in the world. In the last millennium, three sub-species of tigers already lost their existence while five other species are endangered. The first lot of the three sub-species comprised of panthera tigris virgata, panthera tigris balica and panthera tigris sondica. The endangered species are Bengal Tiger (Panthera tigris tigris), Amur Tiger (Panthera tigris attaica), Chinese Tiger (Panthera tigris amoyensis), Indonesian Tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) and Indo-Chinese Tiger (Panthera tigris corbetti). To save these tigers, a movement called Save Tiger has been working since 1972. There are sixteen project tiger field areas in our country (India). They are Corbet National Park, Kanha National Park, Indravati National Park, Sarinka National Park, Melghat Sanctuary, Palamou Tiger Reserve, North Simlipal National Park, Buxa Sanctuary, Sunderbans National Park, Manas Sanctuary, Namdapha National Park, Nagarjun Sagar Shvishailam Sanctuary, Bandipur National Park. Breeding of tigers is done very carefully in many zoological gardens.
