Royal Bengal Tiger The Forest King

The Royal Bengal Tiger is the apex predator of Bangladesh’s Sundarbans mangrove forest, the largest of its kind in the world. Adults can weigh 180–260 kg and have striking orange fur with black stripes for camouflage. Tigers are solitary hunters feeding on deer, wild boar, and fish, and they maintain ecological balance by controlling prey populations. The species is endangered, and conservation efforts in Bangladesh focus on habitat protection and anti-poaching measures. Its presence symbolizes the richness and fragility of the country’s wildlife.
