Bengal Tiger

British colonialism turned Indias tigers into trophies. Between 1860 and 1950, more than 65,000 were shot for their skins. The fortunes of the Bengal tiger, one of Earths biggest species of big cat, did not markedly improve post-independence.

She was nearly attacked by the 500-pound tiger as it tried to bite her hand.

The forest officials rescued 73 hog deer, two otters, two sambar deer, a scops owl, one rhino calf, an Indian hare and a jungle cat.

A Bengal tiger on Sunday injured two persons after it broke open its cage while being transferred to a city in Pakistan's Punjab province, officials said.

A breathtaking video of a tiger taking a big leap over a water stream is winning hearts on the internet. The remarkable video was shared by Indian Railway Accounts Service (IRAS), officer Ananth Rupanagudi on X (formerly Twitter).

A rare Bengal tiger morph (the golden morph), taking a stroll, was recently spotted in Kaziranga National Park.

Three elephants were killed in an accident involving a parcel train in the forest of Buxa Tiger Reserve in West Bengal today. One baby and two adult elephants were hit by a parcel train leading to their deaths.

The annual tiger census in West Bengal's Sunderbans will begin on November 27, a senior Forest department official said on Friday.

The male tiger, whose stripe pattern was found to be similar to a big cat photographed in a forest in Maharashtra, has been sighted in the Mahendra forest range in Odisha's Gajapati district since September.

For the first time in 18 years, a Bengal tiger has given birth to cubs at the Delhi zoo, it said in a statement on Monday.

A camera trap is simply a digital camera connected to an infrared sensor, which can see objects that are moving, like animals.

West Bengal Forest Minister Jyotipriyo Mallick on Monday said the central government's report putting the number of tigers in Sundarbans at 100 does not reflect reality, as the population of big cats there ought to be higher.

Mr Kaswan informed that the cub was found in a tea estate by the forest officials but it wasn't removed.

Spotting of a tiger near a human habitation outside Namdapha National Park and Tiger Reserve in Arunachal Pradesh has led to the unearthing of illegal timber depots in the core area of the park, a senior district official said.

The tiger swam a distance of 120 km across the river Brahmaputra and ended up on a tiny island before it was spotted.
