Hey guys it's Kerry I'm looking at some of my favorite Indian animals
Bengal tiger tigers coexist with other predators such
as leopards asiatic wild dogs brown bears and wolves
throughout most of their range
usually there is little interaction between species
especially since tigers are mostly nocturnal and the other species are
mainly diurnal
tigers are known to swim between the islands in the Sundarbans
