While tigers are most commonly associated with forests, certain subspecies, like the Bengal tiger, can adapt to grassland and savanna-like habitats. In these open landscapes, tigers rely on their remarkable camouflage, using tall grasses and shrubs to stalk prey such as deer and wild boar.
Tigers in savanna environments face unique challenges, such as extreme temperatures and seasonal variations in water and prey availability. Their ability to travel long distances and hunt effectively in diverse terrains highlights their adaptability.
However, these grassland habitats are under constant threat from human activity, including agriculture and urbanization. Protecting savanna landscapes is essential not only for tigers but also for the broader ecosystems they support. Conservation efforts focus on creating wildlife corridors and reducing conflicts between tigers and local communities.
