Tiger, the national animal of India,
is a rich-colored well-striped animal with a short coat. The
combination of grace, strength, power has earned the tiger great
respect and high esteem.
Indian tigers are famous all over the world and one of the main
attractions for the lovers of wild life. They are the crowning glory
and the light of the Indian wild life.
Tough, muscular, majestic tigers roam about the Sunderbans of Bengal
"burning bright in the darkness of the night." The Sunderbans are
their main habitat for their thick forests of Sunder trees.
They feed on fish, cattle and sometimes human beings. The man-eaters
are the most dreaded of all wild beasts. It is a common belief that
a tiger does not harm anyone who has offered prayers to him. Tigers
are fast runners, excellent swimmers and their eyesight is strong. |
