There is always a lot of interest over the largest ever recorded saltie. Adult males can reach sizes of up to 6 or 7 metres (20 to 23 feet), the largest confirmed individual being 20.7 feet (6.3 metres). Largest living crocodilian species with a confirmed measurement, and in fact the world's largest living reptile in terms of mass. They have a white spot on the back of their ears,whick looks like eyes.
The stripes are not only in the tigers fur, but are a pigmentation of the skin. The females are 130-170 kilograms and up to 2.5 meters long. Male reach weights of 200-230 kilograms and up to three metres in length. Bengal is traditionally fixed as the typical locality for the binomial Panthera tigris, to which the British taxonomist Reginald Innes Pocock subordinated the Bengal tiger in 1929 under the trinomial Panthera tigris tigris.[Bengal Tigers are fully grown at 2-3 years of age. The Bengal tiger is the most numerous tiger subspecies with populations estimated at 1,520–1,909 in India, 440 in Bangladesh, 124–229 in Nepal and 67–81 in Bhutan. The total population is estimated at fewer than 2,500 individuals with a decreasing trend, and none of the Tiger Conservation Landscapes within the Bengal tiger's range is large enough to support an effective population size of 250 adult individuals. The Bengal tiger ( Panthera tigris tigris) is a tiger subspecies native to the Indian subcontinent that in 2010 has been classified as endangered by IUCN.
