Bengal Tigers

Author’s Note
In this piece I am working on Vocabulary, a stronger thesis, and organizing my paragraphs better. If you think you can make a suggestion please write a comment. I would love some feedback.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be another animal? Would you live longer or shorter? If you could pick an animal to be for one day what would you be? I would be a Bengal Tiger and here’s why.

The Bengal Tiger, one of the top animals on the food chain. Though the Bengal tiger is the most common tiger it is still endangered. This endangered animal lives in India, Bangladesh, Nepal and in Bhutan. There are 1,411 tigers in India, 200 in Bangladesh, 155 in Nepal and 67–81 in Bhutan, so altogether there are around 1,840 left in the world.

With 1,840 left each tiger has its own territory. Tigers are very solitary animals, but do mate. When the tiger mate the father has no part in raising the kid. The goes away and the Mother has to take care of the cub.

Usually the male is around 290 cm long from head to tail and weighs around 518 pounds. The females are usually around 250 cm long from head to tail and weighs around 308 pounds. They live till 10-15 in the wild and they live till 20 in captivity Their roars can be heard from almost 2 miles away!

Would you want to be a Bengal Tiger now? I still would, because you pee to mark your territory. Just kidding. But still it would be a great experience.
