Bengal Tiger
(孟加拉虎)
Bengal Tiger
Bengal Tigers are one of the most famous beasts in South Asia. They are good at swimming. They have sharp teeth, sensitive ears and stripes on the fur, which are helpful for hunting. When Bengal Tigers find a prey, they go quietly toward it and bite it on the neck, and then the tigers will enjoy their meals.
Bengal Tigers have beautiful fur. Human beings, therefore, have killed a lot of Bengal Tigers to get their fur and sell it for money. Due to the over-hunting, there are fewer than 4,000 Bengal Tigers living in the world nowadays.
