The Royal Bengal Tiger
The majestic Royal Bengal Tiger is the national animal of Bangladesh. Highly endangered, the Royal Bengal can now be mostly found in the Sundarbans.
One of the largest of the 'big cats', it has extremely bold and striking color pattern making it perhaps the most magnificent and sought-after fiery beast of the world! The vivid pattern of stripes on the glossy skin serves as a very effective camouflage in the grasses and foliage almost in all the seasons.
The male averages 3 meters in length including 1 meter of tail and weighs about 180 kg. Though much larger specimens have been known. The giant one is the Siberian tiger, almost 4 meters long and weighing about 300 kg.
