BENGAL TIGER

Nice place to visit

But the tigers are too much lazy ud83dude02nThe Bengal tiger is a Panthera tigris tigris population native to the Indian subcontinent.It is threatened by poaching, loss, and fragmentation of habitat, and was estimated at comprising fewer than 2,500 individuals by 2011. None of the Tiger Conservation Landscapes within its range is considered large enough to support an effective population of more than 250 adult individuals.India's tiger population was estimated at 1,706–1,909 individuals in 2010.By 2018, the population had increased to an estimated 2,603–3,346 individuals.[5] Around 440 tigers are estimated in Bangladesh, 163–253 tigers in Nepal and 103 tigers in Bhutan.nThe tiger is estimated to be present in the Indian subcontinent since the Late Pleistocene, for about 12,000 to 16,500 years.nnThe Bengal tiger ranks among the biggest wild cats alive today.It is considered to belong to the world's charismatic megafauna.[13] It is the national animal of both India and Bangladesh.[14] It is also known as the Royal Bengal tiger.[15]nnTaxonomynnFelis tigris was the scientific name used by Carl Linnaeus in 1758 for the tiger. It was subordinated to the genus Panthera by Reginald Innes Pocock in 1929. Bengal is the traditional type locality of the species and the nominate subspecies Panthera tigris tigris.nnThe validity of several tiger subspecies in continental Asia was questioned in 1999. Morphologically, tigers from different regions vary little, and gene flow between populations in those regions is considered to have been possible during the Pleistocene. Therefore, it was proposed to recognise only two subspecies as valid, namely P. t. tigris in mainland Asia, and P. t. sondaica in the Greater Sunda Islands and possibly in Sundaland
