Largest bird of the world


Common name: Ostrich
Scientific name: Struthio camelus
Origin:Africa

The Ostrich stands can grow to stand 9 feet tall, weighing in at 345 pounds.
The diet of the ostrich mainly consists of plant matter, though it eats insects. It lives in nomadic groups which contain between five and 50 birds. When threatened, the ostrich will either hide itself by lying flat against the ground, or will run away. If cornered, it can cause injury and death with a kick from its powerful legs. Mating patterns differ by geographical region, but territorial males fight for a harem of two to seven females.

Royel Bengal Tiger biggest Tiger of the world


The Royel Bengal tiger is the larger tiger in the world.It has traditionally been considered the second largest subspecies after the Siberian tiger but Northern Bengal Tigers are often larger than Siberian tigers.It is the most common tiger subspecies, living in a variety of habitats, including grasslands, subtropical and tropical rain forests, scrub forests, wet and dry deciduous forests, and mangroves.

Male Bengal Tigers measure around 274-290 cm, sometimes up to 310 cm with their tail. The tail of a large male is usually 85-95 cm long. Their weight is normally around 200-220 kg (440-485 pounds), although those in the north of India and Nepal have an average weight of 235 kg (518 lb). Females are considerably smaller, measure about 250 cm long, a weight of 100-130 kg (220-287 lbs) and reach seldom more than 160 kg (352 lb).Officially, the heaviest Bengal Tiger with confirmed weight was a male of 258.6 kg (570 lbs) and was shot in Northern India in 1938, however the heaviest male captured by scientist at this time has a male of 270 kg (595 lb), tagged in Nepal in 1984. They are able to stay out in cold weather because their skin is able to handle the temperature all over in any kind of weather. It coat is yellow to light orange and the stripes range from dark brown to black, the belly is white and the tail is white with black rings.


The Sundarbans tigers have had a reputation as man-eaters since at least the 17th century (Bernier 1670) but, elsewhere, man-eating is usually the result of a tiger’s incapacity, through age or injury, to catch normal prey. A chance encounter in which such a tiger kills someone in a defensive reaction and feeds on the body may lead it to target people as easy prey. A man-eating tigress may introduce her cubs to human prey. But deaths and injuries caused by surprised tigers or a tigress defending her cubs from intrusion do not usually lead to man-eating. Schaller (1967) agrees with the view of Corbett (1957): "Tigers, except when wounded or man-eaters, are on the whole very good tempered. If warnings (growls, rushes and roars) are disregarded, the blame for any injury inflicted rests entirely with the intruder."
