There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

My graduate advisor studied a lot of tigers in Terai. He grew up in Chitwan area. I think the last time he studied tiger was more than 5 years ago, but he did a lot of monitoring and ranger works (people checking tiger by riding elephant). Two of other Master's students were from Bhutan and Bangaldesh. He told me an interesting story, people think Bangladesh was covered with mangrove biome calling "Sundarban", but mangrove requires both salt and freshwater. Sundarban was only existed in western part of Bangladesh since less freshwater compared to center and east parts during the rainy season. Eastern part of the Bangladesh near Myanmar is rainforest I believe. I am not sure of central and southern parts of the Bangladesh. Does anyone knows any information of tiger in Bangladesh outside of Sundarbans? Were they small just like the Sundarban tiger?
I guess boarder of India and Bangladesh in northwest and north home to tiger looked like one in Assam? They are gone in those areas unfortunately.
Anyone have any guess?
