The white tiger is a recessive mutant of the Bengal tiger in the wild have been reported from time to time in Assam, Bengal, Bihar and especially from the former state of Rewa. In 1929, the British taxonomist Pocock assumed that tigers in southern India has come too late to Sri Lanka to India previously connected by a land bridge to colonize.
In the Indian subcontinent, tigers live in the rainforests and tropical evergreen, dry forests, deciduous tropical and subtropical mangroves, swamps, forests, mountains, subtropical and temperate grasslands and alluvial. Density of tigers in these blocks are high, partly a response to the extraordinary biomass ungulate prey. The basic unit of social tiger is one of the basic mother and her offspring. Otherwise, they lead a solitary life, hunting singly scattered areas of forest and large animals that serve as food. They establish and maintain habitats. Resident adults of both sexes tend to limit their movements in a specific area of habitat where their needs, and, in the case of tigers, of their growing young.
Panna Tiger Reserve in an adult male tiger radio collars moved from 1.7 to 10.5 km (1.1 to 6.5 kilometers) between positions in the following days in the winter, and 1-13 9 km (0.62 - 8.6 km) in the summer. Included in the supply of housing are much smaller intervals of two girls, a tiger with her cubs and sub-adults Tigre. The house is inhabited by resident adult males tend to be mutually exclusive, although one resident male can tolerate transient or sub-adults, at least for a time. A male tiger maintains a vast area to the ranges of several females within its borders, so that it can retain the right to mate with them. Spacing among women is less complete. Habitats of men and women are not stable. Changes in the best habitat less suitable are made from animals that are resident. There are more places for women than for men inhabitants.
Seven years of camera data capture, monitoring and observation in Chitwan National Park, 6-9, 2-16 non-breeding breeding tigers, tigers and tigers 6-20 young people with less than a year are discovered in studies of 100 km2 ( 39 square miles). 4 resident males, was still alive and 3 were displaced by rivals. A tiger youth was given for dead after being photographed with serious injuries to the deer fall. Tigers are carnivores. Among the species of medium-sized prey often slain Pork boar and deer from time to time, muntjac and Gray langur. Small prey such as porcupines, hares and peacocks are a very small part of their diet. The nature of the hunting of the tiger method and prey availability results on a diet of "all or nothing" often consume 18-40 kg (40-88 lb) of meat at one time.
Bengal tigers have been known to other predators such as leopards, wolves, jackals, foxes, crocodiles, bears, Asiatic black bears laziness, and dholes as prey to take, although these predators are not typically a part of their diet. Adult elephants and rhinoceroses are too large to be successfully tackled by tigers, but these are extremely rare events. The Indian hunter and naturalist Jim Corbett described an incident in which two tigers fought and killed a large elephant. The tiger in India do not have a specific mating and birth seasons. A tiger goes into heat at intervals of about 3-9 weeks and react for 3-6 days. The boy left the territory of their mother, as young women.
A particular area of interest lies in the Terai Arc Landscape in the Himalayas in northern India and southern Nepal, where 11 protected areas consists of dry forests hills and tall grass savannas harbor tigers in a 49.000 km ² (19,000 square miles) landscape . The goals are to tigers as a single metapopulation management, the spread of nuclear shelters help maintain genetic integrity, demographic and ecological, and ensure that species and habitats is integrated in the rural development program.
The approach has been successful in reducing poaching, restoring habitats, and creating a local constituency for conservation. WWF has worked with Leonardo DiCaprio a global campaign to form, Save Tigers Now, with the ambitious aim of strengthening the population's political, financial and public double by 2022 wild tiger. Save Tigers Now campaign began in 12 priority landscapes of various WWF Tiger, from May 2010
