Royal Bengal Tiger
All tigers belong to the same species, Panthera tigris,but there are nine recognized subspecies. One of these subspecies is Panthera tigris tigris – the Royal Bengal tiger. This subspecies is often referred to simply as Bengal tiger.
The Royal Bengal tiger is today found chiefly in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Burma and China. The Sundarbans delta is an especially important habitat for the Royal Bengal tiger. It is a river delta filled with mangrove forest situated at the mouth of Ganges. The Sundarbans delta is shared by Indian and Bangladesh. It is in this part of India that you will find the state of Bengal form which the Royal Bengal tiger derives its name. In addition to the Sundarbans delta, you will find the Royal Bengal tiger in rainforests and grasslands.
According to estimations made in 2005, there were 4,580 wild specimens of Royal Bengal tiger to be found in the world. A vast majority of them, roughly 3,500 tigers, lived in India. Bangladesh was home to 300-440 tigers, Nepal 150-220, Bhutan 50-140 and China 30-35 specimens.
The male Royal Bengal tiger can reach a length of 2.7 - 3.1 metres (8.9 - 10.2 feet) and weigh around 200-295 kilograms (440-650 pounds). The female Royal Bengal tiger is smaller than the male and can grow up to 2.4 - 2.65 metres (7.9 - 8.7 feet) in lengh and weigh between 100 and 181 kilograms (221 to 400 pounds).
The Royal Bengal tiger is a skilled predator that feed on medium and large sized animals. It can devour up to 40 pounds (18 kilograms) of meat at a time. After such a treat, the Royal Bengal tiger can stay without food for days. Among the smaller preys we find rabbits, goats, badgers, and peacocks, but the Royal Bengal tiger can also catch large animals like water buffaloes, deer and gaur. The gaur is a big ox from South and South East Asia that exists in a wild and a domesticated form. The Royal Bengal tiger can also catch the strong wild boar and climb trees to get to arboreal primates, and it frequently feeds on predators like leopards, hyenas and wolves. Not even elephants and rhinoceroses are safe, but it is usually calves that fall prey to the Royal Bengal tiger, not adult and healthy animals. There is however reports from India that shows that a Royal Bengal tiger is capable of catching large male elephants with big tusks.
The Royal Bengal tiger kills use several different methods to kill its prey. When the tiger have caught a smaller prey, it will usually severe the spinal cord of the animal and thereby cause it to die. When it comes to larger preys, the Royal Bengal tiger will instead typically prefer to suffocate its catch by biting around its neck. The Royal Bengal tiger prefers to hunt in the dark, but it can carry out successful day hunts too. When the Royal Bengal tiger has killed an animal, it will usually refrain from consuming it directly and instead choose to drag the carcass to a safer place. Even though the Royal Bengal tiger can climb trees to catch primates, it will not follow the example of the smaller Leopard which frequently hides dead animals up in the trees.

Lion of Bangladesh
The lion (Panthera leo) is one of the four big cats in the genus Panthera, and a member of the family Felidae. With some males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight,[4] it is the second-largest living cat after the tiger. Wild lions currently exist in Sub-Saharan Africa and in Asia with an endangered remnant population in Gir Forest National Park in India, having disappeared from North Africa and Southwest Asia in historic times. Until the late Pleistocene, about 10,000 years ago, the lion was the most widespread large land mammal after humans. They were found in most of Africa, across Eurasia from western Europe to India, and in the Americas from the Yukon to Peru.[5] The lion is a vulnerable species, having seen a possibly irreversible population decline of thirty to fifty percent over the past two decades in its African range.Lion populations are untenable outside designated reserves and national parks. Although the cause of the decline is not fully understood, habitat loss and conflicts with humans are currently the greatest causes of concern.
Lions live for ten to fourteen years in the wild, while in captivity they can live longer than twenty years. In the wild, males seldom live longer than ten years, as injuries sustained from continual fighting with rival males greatly reduce their longevity.They typically inhabit savanna and grassland, although they may take to bush and forest. Lions are unusually social compared to other cats. A pride of lions consists of related females and offspring and a small number of adult males. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on large ungulates. Lions are apex and keystone predators, although they scavenge as opportunity allows. While lions do not typically hunt humans, some have been known to do so.
Highly distinctive, the male lion is easily recognised by its mane, and its face is one of the most widely recognised animal symbols in human culture. Depictions have existed from the Upper Paleolithic period, with carvings and paintings from the Lascaux and Chauvet Caves, through virtually all ancient and medieval cultures where they once occurred. It has been extensively depicted in sculptures, in paintings, on national flags, and in contemporary films and literature. Lions have been kept in menageries since the time of the Roman Empire and have been a key species sought for exhibition in zoos the world over since the late eighteenth century. Zoos are cooperating worldwide in breeding programs for the endangered Asiatic subspecies.

Deer of Bangladesh
Deer (singular and plural) are the ruminantmammals forming the family Cervidae. Species in the Cervidae family include White-tailed deer, Elk, Moose, Red Deer, Reindeer, Fallow Deer, Roe and Chital. Male deer of all species (except the Chinese Water deer) and female Reindeer grow and shed new antlers each year. In this they differ from permanently horned animals such as antelope; these are in the same order as deer and may bear a superficial resemblance. The musk deer of Asia and Water Chevrotain (or Mouse Deer) of tropical African and Asian forests are not usually regarded as true deer and form their own families, Moschidae and Tragulidae, respectively. he word "deer" was originally broad in meaning, but became more specific over time. In Middle English der (Old English dēor) meant a wild animal of any kind. This was as opposed to cattle, which then meant any sort of domestic livestock that was easy to collect and remove from the land, from the idea of personal-property ownership (rather than real estate property) and related to modern chattel (property) and capital.[1] Cognates of Old English dēor in other dead Germanic languages have the general sense of "animal", such as Old High German tior, Old Norse djur or dȳr, Gothic dius, Old Saxon dier, and Old Frisian diar. This general sense gave way to the modern sense in English, by the end of the Middle English period around 1500.[citation needed] However, all modern Germanic languages save English and Scots retain the more general sense: for example, German Tier, Alemannic Diere or Tiere, Pennsylvania Dutch Gedier, Dutch dier, Afrikaans dier, Limburgish diere, Norwegian dyr, Swedish djur, Danish dyr, Icelandic dýr, Faroese dýr, West Frisian dier, and North Frisian diarten, all of which mean "animal". "Deer" is the same in the plural as in the singular, a convention which stretches back to Old English.
For most deer in modern English usage, the male is called a "buck" and the female is a "doe", but the terms vary with dialect, and especially according to the size of the species. For many larger deer the male is a "stag", while for other larger deer the same words are used as for cattle: "bull" and "cow". The male Red Deer is a "hart", and the female is a "hind". Terms for young deer vary similarly, with that of most being called a "fawn" and that of the larger species "calf"; young of the smallest kinds may be a kid. A group of deer of any kind is a "herd". The adjective of relation pertaining to deer is cervine; like the family name "Cervidae", this is from Latin: ce
