Animals

The Bengal tiger, one of the most iconic big cats, is perfectly adapted to life in the Sundarbans mangrove forest. These tigers are skilled swimmers and frequently cross rivers and tidal creeks to hunt prey, including deer, boars, and fish.

Their powerful build and sharp senses make them apex predators, capable of hunting in the dense, waterlogged terrain of the mangroves. Bengal tigers also play a critical role in maintaining the balance of the ecosystem by controlling herbivore populations.

However, habitat loss and rising sea levels threaten their existence. Conservation efforts in the Sundarbans focus on habitat restoration, anti-poaching measures, and community education to ensure the survival of this magnificent predator.
