Bengal tigers live in South East Asia, India, and Nepal. They live in the forests, grasslands, and swamps of these countries. Males inhabit large amounts of territory up to 200 square miles, but they often change, depending on how abundant their food is. A male's territory usually overlaps several females' territory.

Bengal tigers are an endangered species, but there are more of them than all other sub-species of tigers combined.
Bengal tigers have litters every two or three years. They have anywhere from one to five cubs, but it is unlikely for more than three to live. Bengal tigers are born blind, but open their eyes after 15 to 16 days. They join their mother hunting after about eight weeks, and are weaned at about five months. They first learn to kill at about six months, but can not feed themselves until they are around 16 months old. They leave their mother when they are about two years old. They reach sexual maturity at about 3 or 4 years old. The oldest one in captivity was 26, but they usually only live 15 years in the wild.
Bengal tigers will eat just about anything but prefer deer, antelope, pigs, buffalo, and baby elephants. There are many stories of man-eating tigers. Most of these are injured, sick, very old, or they just can't find any other food. It is extremely rare for a healthy tiger to become a man-eater.

Bengal tigers are heavier predators than lions. They need about fifty deer a year to survive, but only about one in twenty hunts are successful.
