Bengal Tiger Cats
Bengal tiger cats and hunting don't mix; you can look at a photo, but you need to remember that they are endangered.
These animals are pure carnivores and adapted well to efficiently kill big game, such as pig, deer, buffalo, antelope and young elephant. If such food is scarce, they can eat domestic cattle; senior individuals may become man-eaters, but it happens very rarely. They are now endangered, because they have suffered a great devastation over the past century. At the beginning of the 20th century, there were 40,000 wild species; now there are less than 5,000 species left in the world. Hopefully, the project accepted by the Indian government in 1973, will be instrumental in saving this beautiful animal.

Bengal Tiger Cats -
hunting, photo
These animals are usually solitary. Sometimes they travel in groups of 3-4 animals; possibly it is a mother and her young. These wild felines mark their home range with urine, droppings, and scratch marks. Females maintain small home ranges and usually stay close to their lairs in order to keep their young secure. Females maintain much larger home ranges that usually overlap those of several females. A male’s home range may cover up to 200 square miles.
