Bengal tigers
By Sam
Bengal tiger behavior
• Mothers have at most 5 cubs, and each is 2 pounds. For
2 months the cubs drink their mothers milk, but after that
they eat meat. After 18 months of age the cubs hunt on
their own.
• Also a Bengal tiger can eat up to 40 pounds of food.
• A Bengal tiger eats monkeys and frogs for little stuff but
for a whole meal they may eat wild pigs and deer.
Bengal tiger behavior
• Bengal tigers hunt like every other tiger they
pounce on their prey then bite its neck to kill it.
• Tigers find mates like this: A male tiger sets up a
territory using many different things including
smells and scratch marks. When a female tiger
comes up to the territory it may like the male and
vice versa. They might mate.
Bengal tiger habitat
• Bengal tigers live in Asia but mostly
around India
• Bengal tigers are found in mangrove
swamps and jungles and dense forests

up to 12 feet high (stretched out) and 700
pounds.
• Tigers either have a yellow or light orange
coat, black or dark brown stripes and a
white belly.
Extinction/ endangered
•
tigers are becoming endangered because in China you
can make a lot of money selling poached tigers (even
though it’s illegal) also in china lots of tiger parts can go
in medicines.
• 1 of the ways you can help raise awareness for
tigers is by going to stars in the wild and
purchasing a tiger stuffed animal.
• 3 tiger species have become extinct and bengal
tigers are endangered.
White tigers
• white tigers are white because of a
defective recessive gene that is passed
down. Also black tigers are black for that
very same reason.
