Bengal Tiger ポスター

The Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) is a tiger subspecies native to the Indian subcontinent that in 2010 has been classified as endangered by IUCN. The total population is estimated at fewer than 2,500 individuals with a decreasing trend. The Bengal tiger's coat is yellow to light orange, with stripes ranging from dark brown to black; the belly and the interior parts of the limbs is white, and the tail is white with black rings. The white tiger is a recessive mutant of the Bengal tiger. Compared to normal colored tigers without the white gene, white tigers tend to be larger, both at birth and as fully grown adults. The Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) is a tiger subspecies that inhabits the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The Sumatran tiger is the smallest of the tiger subspecies as compared to the Siberian tiger which is the largest.
