Wildlife Crime Control Bureau, Eastern Region

The tiger (Panthera tigris) is one of the largest cat species found in India. Also called the Bengal Tiger, its recognizable feature is a pattern of dark vertical stripes on a reddish-orange fur with a lighter underside. Tigers are apex predators, primarily preying on ungulates such as deer and bovids. They are territorial, generally solitary but social animals. Due to destruction of its habitat and illegal hunting for its fur, bone, nails and other parts it has become an endangered species. The Tigers are protected under the Schedule-I of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.
