Teeth of Terror Directors of the Hunters of the Wild Lands Museum, HOWL, are seeking nominations for predators in their display. These amazing animals will be recognized in the HOWL exhibits. When most Americans hear the word predator, they think of owls and other powerful birds native to their country. But what about Bengal Tigers? Because of their strength and incredible hunting skills, Bengal Tigers would be an excellent addition to the HOWL museum.

One reason that Bengal Tigers are fantastic predators is that they have great hunting habits. If they are trying to hunt an animal that’s large, this type of tiger will simply bite it in the throat to kill it. Bengal tigers also mark their territory, so that no other tiger will hunt there. Also, they are nocturnal hunters. That’s helpful to them because their prey could be sleeping and therefore much easier to kill and eat. Because of these habits, most Bengal Tigers stay well feed.

A second reason Bengal Tigers are wonderful hunters is that they have great size and strength. These animals can kill other animals twice their size. Bengal Tigers weigh 240 to 500 pounds. They’re the largest cat in the world. A Bengal tiger’s size helps it be a good predator!

A third reason that Bengal Tigers are marvelous hunters is that they have awesome teeth, claws, and tongues. Their teeth, the largest teeth of any living cat, according to SeaWorld.org, “The canines have abundant pressure-sensing nerves that enable the tiger to identify the location needed to sever the neck of its prey.” Bengal tigers use their retractable claws for gripping prey and scratching their territory. This type of cat uses their rough tongue for ripping the flesh off of their prey and for grooming themselves. Since Bengal Tigers have very useful body parts designed for hunting, their fantastic killers.

Even though some people think that Bengal Tigers are weak predators because they are going extinct, humans are killing the animals in which they hunt and eat, so they cannot survive. A lot of people think that they’re mean for picking on animals which stand no chance against them. But, being nice and not killing animals in which you know you can kill won’t win you dinner, right? Bengal Tigers should be recognized and highly respected by humans because of their hunting skills. These killers should be featured in the HOWL M useum so that everyone can see how awesome they are.
