Royal Bengal Tigers are the king of the Jungle! A full-grown tiger can be 10 feet long and weigh over 500 pounds. Each tiger has its own stripe pattern, like a human fingerprint. They are beautiful, but they're also strong hunters who can kill animals much bigger than themselves. Bengal tiger sighting is rare, so seeing them in the wild is always special.
