Bengal tiger
The Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) is a subspecies of tiger native to India.[1]
History
In the time of the Sikh Empire, Bengal tigers were still quite common in India, where they carry special cultural significance,[2] and some were trained by the Sikh soldiers to serve like guard-dogs in their palaces.[3]
Characteristics
The Bengal tiger weighs up to 325 kilograms and can be over three meters long. With its powerful body, it can be extremely dangerous to humans. Nonetheless, man-eating tigers are so rare that the few recorded cases have become legendary, even appearing in famous novels and hunting tales. Aside from the fact that they normally do not venture outside their territory, their typical diet consists of ungulates and rarely on smaller prey. While Bengal tigers may feast on other predators when driven by necessity, only those wounded or starved will prey on humans.[2]
Animus mods
In 2020, while reliving Eivor Varinsdottir's genetic memories through the Portable Animus HR-8.5, the Assassin Layla Hassan modified the Animus interface to allow for a variety of skins to be applied to her horse:

Bengal Tiger | Once one of the most endangered animals on the planet, global tiger populations have slowly begun increasing in recent years due in part to the hard work of conservationists around the world. However, despite these efforts, many species of tiger are still in decline and some, like the South China tiger, have an estimated population of less than 20 individuals in the wild. | Reda's Shop |
