Even if we assume that in 2001, there were 50 tigers in the Bangladeshi part, all of those 50 have died naturally. And, in all likelihood, even the next generation after that has lost many tigers. And, all this is based on the population being 50 in 2001, although most likely the population has remained constant in Bangladeshi Sundarbans because at one point Bangladesh claimed to have 400 tigers.

In all likelihood, the number of deaths would be close to 100 including poaching and 200 if you add cubs and subadults.

Oh yeah! Now that you mention it, this is the only possibility to statistically make sense... 20 years mean at tge least whole generation of their total tiger population has died off.

And when the claim 400 tigers WBFD claimed 275 on Indian side. After camera trapping started that became 76 on our side & less than 100 on theirs. Reply
