5. Bengal Tiger
Panthera tigris tigris
The Bengal tiger, or Royal Bengal tiger, roams a wide range of habitats
including high altitudes, tropical and subtropical
rainforests, mangroves, and grasslands.
Tigers use their distinctive coats as camouflage (no two have exactly the
same stripes).
white spots on the backside of each ear help baby tigers to see their
mothers. Without the spots, which are very visible against a black
background, the stripes of a mother tiger would make them almost invisible
to the blurry-eyed cubs who trail behind them
Bengal tigers hunt mostly at night, killing their prey by severing the spinal
cord, or by inflicting a suffocation bite (usually for larger prey).
Hunting at night allows them to have an advantage against
their prey. (most of there prey are not nocturnal and have
poor night vision)

11. Ecosystem Characteristics
The coloration makes it difficult for
prey to spot the shark because it
Great white sharks live breaks up the shark's outline when
in almost all coastal seen from the side. From above, the
darker shade blends with the sea and
and offshore water from below it exposes a minimal
silhouette against the sunlight. Great
whites display countershading
having a white underside and a grey
dorsal area (sometimes in a brown or
blue shade) that gives an overall
mottled appearance.

16. Giant Panda
Ecosystem Characteristics
-The Giant panda also known as, Panda,
Is found in the southwestern China.
-Pandas spend almost 12 hours a day
eating bamboo and other vegetation.

- The shape of pandas teeth are big and dull,
to help them chomp through bamboo.
- Pandas don’t have thumbs, but their

ability makes it easy but it’s
hard to get their food because humans
are usually in the valley.

live in Costa Rica for example and tropical
rainforests.
