The basic social unit of the Bengal tiger is one of the elemental mother and offspring. Adult animals gather only on an ad hoc and temporary basis in special circumstances allow, as large supply of food. Otherwise they lead solitary lives, hunting for individual disseminated high forest and grassland animals, which they prey. They establish and maintain habitats.
