The Siberian tiger and the Bengal tiger are two of the most popular types of tigers in zoos. However, not many people know that there is a difference between these two animals. The Bengal tiger is larger than the Siberian tiger and has a rounder head with stripes on its body that go all around it. Meanwhile, the Bengal tiger has sharp teeth and bigger claws than those found on Siberian tigers.
Characteristics, Size, Color, Diet, Territory
Bengals have an orange color while Siberians are yellowish-white to grey-yellow or reddish-brown striped patterned fur coats with black spots underneath their fur coats, which makes them invisible from dark foliage forest environments stealthy hunters at night for prey such as sambar deer, wild boars, and bison.
Bengals are found in India and Nepal, while Siberian tigers live mainly in eastern Russia’s Siberian taiga or boreal forests that have more coniferous trees than any other country on earth, such as the Amur (or Heilongjiang) River region of Northeast China and Far Eastern Federal District of Western Siberia near to Lake Baikal.
The diet for Siberians is primarily elk with some moose where they’re found living at higher altitudes. In contrast, a Bengal’s diet has been known to be smaller prey like rodent species, including mongooses, small monkeys, hares, large birds, including peacocks, etc.
A Siberian tiger’s territory ranges from around 400 square miles and is usually solitary; however, it periodically meets up for the mating season. Bengal tigers have habitats that range between 16-20 sqm in size and live in groups due to their need for protection as well as group hunting opportunities (this also includes stealth), but during certain times of year will venture off on their own such as when it becomes pregnant or needs healing.
Who Is The Stronger Bengal Tiger Or Siberian Tiger?
Bengal tigers are stronger than Siberian tigers due to their size. Meanwhile, the Bengal tiger has sharp teeth and bigger claws than those found on Siberian tigers, which makes up for their lack of weight compared to them.
Unlike Siberians who hunt at night, Bengals hunt during the daytime, where they have more strength for attacking prey or fighting off other animals such as leopards, lions, wolves, etc. While Bengal Tigers may be stronger in general – Siberian Tigers can still stand their ground against these larger predators like Bengal Tigers have done in the past.
