The Bengal tiger is probably the most well-known type of tiger.

The coat of the Bengal tiger has a ground colour of tawny yellow, with black stripes on the body and limbs, the tail also being ringed with black. This colouring makes it very difficult to see in a thicket or even in long grass, for it resembles closely the play of the deep shadow and strong sunlight of the tropics.
The hair is short in the Bengal variety,
