Food Chain
In the year 1900, there were 50,000 tigers, but now there are only 4,000 left. They are projected to be extinct in 2025.
Their fur acts as a natural camouflage to protect themselves and also hide from prey. They protect themselves with their sharp claws and teeth.
Base color is orange and white on the cheeks, eyebrows, mouth, and stomach. They have long black stripes. They are also warm blooded.
This carnivore has no predators. Dead tigers will be fed on by flies, maggots, beetles, and vultures.
The Indian Government came up with a plan called "Project Tiger" in 1972 to help protect Bengal Tigers. Under this government protection, hunting and trading tiger parts were banned.
They can be up to 575 pounds and can be 10 feet long and 3 feet tall.
They also live and hunt alone because it is easier to sneak up on prey.
