Bengal tigers (panthera tigris tigris)
Bengal tigers are the subspecies with the best sense of smell, and they can wait almost a whole day until it is the right moment to attack their prey. They usually eat barasingha, water buffalo, nilgai, serow and takin. Among the medium-sized prey species it frequently kills wild boar, and occasionally hog deer, muntjac and grey langur.
Some people think that white tigers are Siberian tigers, or another subspecies altogether, but they are wrong. White tigers are actually Bengal tigers, but without the chemical that makes them orange.
