| Bengal Tigers, also known as Royal Bengal Tigers (scientific name: Panthera tigris tigris) are a subspecies of tiger primarily found in Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Bhutan, and southern Tibet. They have been listed as an endangered species on the IUCN Red List since 2008, with estimates suggesting that fewer than 2,500 individuals remained in 2011. The primary threats to their survival include poaching, habitat loss, and fragmentation. The Tiger Project in India has contributed significantly to the recovery of this tiger subspecies in its natural habitat. |
