Wildlife Story : Well, among these carnivore family, tigers are meant to be the apex predators as their primary preying targets are from some ungulates like buffalo, pig, deer and to name a few. Tigers are considered to be the most recognisable and popular of the charismatic megafauna. Apart from being the national animal of India tigers are also given national status in countries like Bangladesh, Vietnam, Malaysia and South Korea.
