BENGAL TIGER FOOD & HUNTING
Bengal tigers are primarily nocturnal, engaging in hunting activities during the night. Despite their strength and speed over short distances, they rely on stalking their prey, as they are unable to outrun faster animals. The Bengal tiger dispatches smaller prey with a bite to the back of the neck, while larger prey is killed with a bite to the throat.
Bengal tigers predominantly hunt gaur (wild ox) and buffalo. While a tiger possesses the capability to kill a bull gaur that is more than twice its own size, it tends to target younger or older animals that offer less resistance.
In the Sundarbans region, which spans India and Bangladesh, the tiger's prey includes chital (axis deer), wild boar, and monkeys. Occasionally, Bengal tigers may also attack porcupines.
Tigers have been popularized in traditional and modern media. Think of Rajah from Aladdin or Tigger from Winnie-the-Pooh. In contemporary pop culture, the most relevant reference to the popularity of tigers would have to be the Tiger King.
Tigers made that TV series popular. Seeing these exquisite, gracious creatures stirred emotion in the viewers. They were there for the tigers, just like you’re here now. You wanted to learn more about the lives of these creatures.
Bengal tigers are often larger than the other tiger species and have been endangered in India.
That is when a species of animal has had a massive disruption in its population, and they are at risk of dying out. For Bengal tigers, the cause of their endangered status is poaching, hunting, and deforestation as the human population grows.
Indeed, our growth can sometimes mean the destruction of other astonishing creatures. That’s why we must learn about these animals to better arm ourselves against our mistakes.
