It was not an easy fight, but with superior strength, the Machli tiger defeated its biggest opponent – a huge crocodile nearly 4 meters long.

In the big cat family, tigers are the largest and strongest animals. In nature, in terms of size, the tiger is the third largest land carnivore in the world, only after white bears and brown bears.

Tiger’s habitat is dense forests or large grasslands, where they can easily camouflage to hunt or hide from enemies. Tigers have very good climbing ability, only inferior to domestic cats, but they are very developed in swimming ability.

In the wild, there have been 9 different tiger breeds including: Bali, Java, Persian, South China, Sumatran, Siberian, Malay, Indochina and Bengal tigers. Among them, there are 3 extinct tiger breeds: Bali, Java and Persian tigers.

The Bengal tiger is a subspecies of tiger that lives mainly in mainland India and is considered the second largest tiger in the world. Bengal tigers were once famous for hunting large animals such as Asian elephants and young rhinos.

The Bengal tiger is a symbolic animal in Bangladesh and an important part of traditional life and spirituality in India. For people in these countries, the Bengal tiger is the image that symbolizes the wisest, bravest, strongest and most dangerous.

Thanks to its large size and unrivaled strength, the Bengal tiger has almost no enemies in the wild. It can be said that the Bengal tiger is the boss of the wild natural world where it lives, with all the power to live and kill in his hands.

Confident in its own strengths, Bengal tigers like to work and hunt individually. The tiger’s hunting habit is usually to stalk, wait for an opportunity, then quietly approach and deliver a fatal blow to defeat the victim.

It is known that India currently has more than 515 wildlife sanctuaries and 99 national parks spread across the country.

The country has wild animals that have built its reputation on the country including Bengal tigers, Asian elephants, crocodiles, Indian rhinoceros, Asiatic lions, pythons, wolves, foxes and bears.

Ranthambore is one of the largest national parks in India. It stretches across a large campus and is a favorite place for many tourists around the world who want to experience the feeling of seeing wild animals firsthand.

Here is the home of an extremely famous Bengal tiger named Machli, also known by many nicknames such as Queen of Tigers, Tiger Queen of Ranthambore, Crocodile Hunter… Even Even this tiger was at one time the Bengal tiger with the longest lifespan in India.

At its peak, the Machli tiger, famous for its excellent hunting ability and “mountain-shattering” strength, once struggled to suppress a huge crocodile nearly 4 meters long. Winning a resounding victory, this tiger had to lose two fangs in the fight.

In return, after this victory, Machli’s name became more widely known and it became a big name attracting tourists to admire in Ranthambore.

The legend of the Machli tiger has finally come to an end after 19 years of rampage, exceeding the average age of the Bengal tiger by nearly a decade.

During his lifetime, Machli gave birth to 4 litters of Bengal tigers, successfully raised 11 tiger cubs and contributed greatly to increasing the number of rare tiger individuals in Ranthambore in particular as well as India in general.
