Royal Bengal Tiger
The Royal Bengal Tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) is one of the world’s most iconic and powerful predators, native to the Indian subcontinent. Found primarily in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, and Myanmar, these tigers are known for their striking orange coats with black stripes, which help them blend into the dense jungles and tall grasses of their habitats. Adult male tigers typically weigh between 400 to 500 pounds (180 to 230 kilograms), while females are smaller, weighing around 220 to 350 pounds (100 to 160 kilograms). They can grow up to 10 feet (3 meters) in length, including their tail.
Royal Bengal Tigers are solitary and territorial, known for their stealth and ability to hunt large prey, such as deer, wild boar, and even small elephants. Unfortunately, they are endangered, with only around 2,500 individuals remaining in the wild. Loss of habitat, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict are major threats to their survival. Conservation efforts, including the creation of protected areas like Bardiya National Park, have been instrumental in stabilizing their numbers. Tigers are most active during dawn and dusk, marking their territories and hunting alone.

One-Horned Rhino
The One-Horned Rhino, or Indian Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis), is a large herbivore native to the Indian subcontinent. These rhinos are easily recognizable by their single horn made of keratin, and their thick, armor-like skin. Their coloration ranges from grey to brown, with lighter tones on their underbelly and legs. One-Horned Rhinos are large, with adults standing about 1.5 to 2 meters (5 to 6.5 feet) tall at the shoulder and weighing between 2,000 to 2,700 kilograms (4,400 to 6,000 pounds).
Once found throughout the Indian subcontinent, the One-Horned Rhino is now primarily confined to the grasslands and wetlands of northeastern India, Nepal, and parts of Bhutan. The largest population resides in Kaziranga National Park in India, with smaller populations in Bardiya and Chitwan National Parks in Nepal. Though once considered endangered, conservation efforts have helped stabilize their numbers, with an estimated 3,000 individuals remaining in the wild. Despite their recovery, the One-Horned Rhino is still classified as vulnerable. These rhinos are generally solitary, with males and females coming together only during mating. They are known for their aggressive behavior, especially during breeding seasons and when protecting their territory.
