The Bengal Tiger: Striped Majesty of the Sundarbans

In the mangrove forests of the Sundarbans, the Bengal tiger navigates a labyrinth of tidal waters and dense undergrowth. Among them was a tigress named Sundari, whose story captivated both locals and researchers.

Sundari was a skilled swimmer, often crossing rivers to hunt spotted deer and wild boar. Her most remarkable achievement was protecting her cubs from a rogue male tiger that threatened their lives. Using her intelligence and strength, Sundari lured the male away and ensured her cubs’ safety, showcasing the fierce maternal instincts of tigers.

Sundari’s legacy lives on as conservationists work tirelessly to protect Bengal tigers from habitat loss and poaching. Her story reminds us of the grace and power of these iconic predators.
