The Royal Bengal Tiger (bagh)
The Royal Bengal Tiger:
The Royal Bengal Tiger is one of the largest living cats in the world. The Bengal Tiger is recognized as the national animal of Bangladesh and is known as the Royal Bengal Tiger. The Royal Bengal Tiger is a beautiful and fast-moving tiger found nowhere else in the world. Its body extends further from the yellow to the reddish-colored holes with vertically arranged black stripes, ramps, and thighs; The lower parts are white. Its babies are born striped. The yellow tail has a series of black rings and ends with a black tip. Head-body length 140-280 cm and a tail 60-110 cm. Its shoulder height is 95-110 cm; Males weigh 180–280 kg and females 115–185 kg; The woman is small.
The heaviest tiger that has been recorded in the Guinness Book of Records at 55 kg is the Amur (Siberian) tiger. They prey on medium to large mammals such as deer and wild boar. They can hunt animals twice their size. The species of prey determines how many tigers can survive in a particular area. Tigers are monogamous and usually give birth to 2-5 cubs after a gestation period of about 14-15 weeks; Most cubs are born between February and May and are reared by their mothers for 5-6 months. Young children stay with their mother for a year or more.
Tigers
are found in a wide range of climates and ranges, from the jungles of the
subcontinent to the snows of the Russian Far East. Tigers in Bangladesh were
once found in every forest, but now they are confined to the mangrove forests
of the Sundarbans, and are considered a critically endangered species.
The Number of tiger species and survival in the world:
Five of the eight subspecies of the tiger still survive the Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) living in Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, western Myanmar and Nepal. According to the 2004 tiger census, there are approximately 450 Royal Bengal Tigers in Bangladesh. The Sundarbans is the main habitat of tigers in Bangladesh. Today it is estimated that less than 7000 tigers survive in the following countries: Bangladesh (320-450), Bhutan (67-81), China (110-140), India (2,500-3,750), Myanmar (230-465), Nepal (93-97), Russia (330-337), Vietnam (200), Cambodia (150-300), Thailand (250-501), Malaysia (491-510), and Indonesia (400-500).
Theroar of the Royal Bengal Tiger can be heard from a distance of 3 km. The way
the Sundarbans golpata bushes and trees are being destroyed due to human
aggression, the last refuge of the Bengal Tiger is also being hindered.
Recommendations for the conservation of the Royal Bengal Tiger:
In
Bangladesh, loss of habitat, loss of prey, hunting of skin and other parts of
the body and killing by human hands will be a big threat to tigers and the
Sundarbans will become a barren land. Various organizations and governments
must come forward to protect this traditional animal.
In
particular, the Royal Bengal Tiger Convention on International Trade in
Endangered Species (CITES) Appendix 1, and the Third Schedule to Bangladesh
(Wildlife) (Conservation) (Amendment) Act, 1974 must be enacted.
