🗺️ Expedition: The Royal Bengal Tiger 🐅
The Land & The Story: The Royal Bengal Tiger is the king of the Indian forest! It has beautiful orange fur with dark black stripes. Did you know that no two tigers have the same stripes? They are just like our fingerprints! These big cats live in thick jungles and the swampy Sundarbans. Tigers are very strong and are one of the few big cats that love to swim in the water. They have soft pads on their paws so they can walk very quietly without making a sound. We call the tiger our National Animal because it is brave and very special to India. Let's imagine we are explorers watching a tiger nap under a big tree!
💡 Big Word: Camouflage - Colors or patterns on an animal that help it hide in nature.
🌍 Conservation Corner: We can help tigers by protecting their forest homes. Never throw trash when you visit a National Park or a forest!
