Bengal Tiger

Bengal Tigers live in India, a primary deforestation spot. They have evolved to be skilled hunters in the jungle, with powerful muscles, silent paws, and a meat-based diet. In the dappled sunlight of a jungle, a tiger’s orange-striped fur helps with camouflage. However, they are heavy cats, more built for stalking their prey than chasing it. In the future, tigers will need to learn to live in grasslands, the predicted landscape of India. They will need to become more fleet-footed to catch their prey, but maintain their powerful muscles. Dark stripes will develop under their eyes to see in the sunlight, similar to a cheetah. In order to adapt to the rising temperatures the tiger’s fur will become thinner, changing color to a paler gold-tan with lighter stripes to blend in with the savannah grass.
