The Bengal Tiger. The scientific
name of the Bengal Tiger is "Tiger Panthera tigris".
This tiger is a rich-coloured well-striped animal
with a short coat. The combination of grace, strength, agility and enormous
power has earned the tiger great respect and high esteem. It is found
throughout the country except the north-western region, and also in the
neighbouring countries such as Nepal, Bhutan and Bangladesh. The tiger
occupies a variety of habitats from dry open jungles, humid ever-green
forests to mangrove swamps.
