Bengal tigers

Asian jungle cats

Bengal tigers are a subspecies of tiger native to the Indian subcontinent, the most numerous of all tiger populations.

They inhabit forests, grasslands, and mangrove swamps across India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and Bhutan.

The Bengal tiger is Bangladesh's national animal and appears prominently in South Asian culture and mythology.

We spotted a Bengal tiger on safari in Ranthambore.
