The majestic Royal Bengal Tiger is the national animal Bangladesh. Highly endanger, the Royal Bengal can now be mostly be found in the Sundarbans.
One of the largest of the 'big cats', it has exceptionally bold and striking colour pattern - making it perhaps the most outstanding and sought-after fiery beast of the world! The vivid model 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 metres in length with 1 meter of tail and wiighs about 180 kg., though much larger speciemens have been lnown. The monster one is the Siberian tiger, almost 4 metres long and weigh about 300 kg.
