The Panthera tigris tigris, or most commonly known as the Bengal tiger, is one of eight sub-species of tiger, and one of five remaining subspecies of tiger that currently roam the planet. Despite being the predominant subspecies of the Panthera tigris and making up the majority of the tiger population worldwide, only around 2500-3200 tigers remain in the wild and have been on The International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) red list for threatened species since 2008 (“Panthera tigris ssp. Tigris” (n.d.)). In the wild, the Bengal tiger lives in countries such as India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal, Myanmar and eastern regions of Pakistan (Kasnoff, 2016). These large cats typically live 14-18 years and when mature, range from 1.5 to 2.9m in length and up to 716lbs. Their primary diet includes large prey and mammals such as wild pig, deer and buffalo, depending on their surroundings (Bradford, 2014). Contrary to popular belief, the Bengal tiger along with other subspecies of tigers do not hunt by sprinting after their prey, these animals hunt using stealth tactics by sneaking behind their prey and clamping down on the neck (Brannan, 2014).
