Description:
The Bengal Tiger is one of six living sub-species of tigers. Tigers, one of four members of the genus panthera, are the largest and most powerful of cats. They are superpredators, with no natural enemies other than man and other tigers. Tigers are strong swimmers, and have been known to ambush boats for a meal of fishermen. In fact, Bengal Tigers are feared as known man-eaters.
