The Bengal Tiger is a majestic and powerful predator that is native to the Indian subcontinent. Known for its distinctive coat of reddish-orange with black stripes, the Bengal Tiger is an apex predator and is one of the largest tiger subspecies.
 
The Bengal Tiger is classified as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Habitat loss and poaching are the two main threats to the survival of this magnificent animal. Habitat loss is caused by deforestation, as well as human encroachment into tiger habitats. Poaching is a significant issue, as the demand for tiger parts, such as bones and skins, remains high in traditional medicine and luxury markets.
