However, Bengal tigers are affected by pollution in a number of ways:
* Habitat loss and degradation: Pollution, including deforestation and industrial waste, destroys their natural habitat, leaving them with less space and fewer resources.
* Food chain contamination: Pollution can accumulate in the food chain, leading to health problems for tigers and their prey. This can make tigers weaker, more susceptible to disease, and less able to reproduce.
* Disease transmission: Pollution can lead to the spread of diseases in tigers, making them more vulnerable to illness and death.
Therefore, while tigers themselves don't pollute, they are victims of pollution and its harmful consequences.
It's important to note that pollution is a human-made problem. We need to take action to reduce pollution and protect the habitats of Bengal tigers and other endangered species.
