The Sunderban delta is the home of which of the following animal?

The correct answer is Royal Bengal Tiger.

Key Points

• The largest tiger in the world, the Royal Bengal Tiger, lives in the Sunderbans, a delta created by the Ganga and Brahmaputra rivers.
• The Sunderbans' marshy delta is home to more than three-fourths of eastern India's Royal Bengal Tigers.
• The beautiful and fierce Royal Bengal tigers live in these lush evergreen delta forests.
• At the Bay of Bengal, the confluence of the Ganga, Hooghly, and Brahmaputra rivers creates the Sundarban Delta. It is a mangrove wetland with freshwater. India makes up 40% of the marshy delta's overall area.
• The remainder belongs to Bangladesh. These marshes shield the local population from storms and floods that originate in the Bay of Bengal.
• There is an abundance of vegetation and fauna in the Sundarban Delta. Mangrove forests of a tree called "Sundari" dominate the area. The name Sundarban comes from this distinctive tree.

Important Points

• The Asiatic cheetah previously ranged from the Arabian Peninsula and the Near East to the Transcaucasus, Kyzylkum Desert, and northern South Asia. However, throughout the 20th century, it became extinct in these areas.
• The Asiatic lion often referred to as the Indian lion and the Persian lion is a subspecies of Panthera leo that is currently the only one to still exist in the wild outside of India.
• The melanistic color variation of the leopard (Panthera pardus) and the jaguar is known as a black panther (Panthera onca). Both species of black panthers have an abundance of their dark pigments, but they also have their characteristic rosettes.
