The tiger is one of the world's most powerful predators, known as the "king of the hundred beasts", standing at the top of the food chain. At present, there are 6 subspecies of tigers in the world, namely Siberian tiger, Bengal tiger, Sumatran tiger, Indochina tiger, Malay tiger and South China tiger, of which Bengal tiger is the largest number of tigers in the wild and the second largest tiger subspecies. But because Siberian tigers have been affected by inbreeding in recent years, they are no longer as large as before, and Bengal tigers have a tendency to replace the first tiger.
Speaking of The Bengal Tiger, we have to mention a Tiger King, whose name is Chagil, which is one of the most famous tigers in the world, and has its own tombstone after death, which records its life's deeds. In 1984, Chagil was born in Bandaga National Park, India, just born Chagil is no different from other small tigers, tiger head, very cute, but in the process of growing up, Chagil gradually revealed a fierce appearance, the personality is much more fierce than the Bengal tiger of the same age.
Early Chagil
When they are about 3 years old, that is, in 1987, in general, tigers are sexually mature, that is, 2 or 3 years, this time is when they are strong tiger mothers, generally speaking, tigers at this stage will choose a piece of their own turf, live well, wait for older and stronger, and then challenge the tiger king. But Chagil was clearly impatient, and the 3-year-old was as fearless as a newborn calf, challenging Barka, the largest tiger king in the region.
Chagil kills the cubs
The result was predictable, after all, the young Chagil was not strong enough, nor did he have much experience, it was impossible to win the battle of Balka, who was in his prime, so this battle, Chagil was defeated, but Balka was also seriously injured, and because of this battle, Barka's authority was not so strong. After this battle, Chagil learned from the experience, after all, young, the body recovered relatively quickly, in the years to come, Chagil continued to challenge some of the smaller Tiger Kings in the surrounding area, and defeated them, occupying their territory.
Barka
In the process, Chagil also harassed Barka's territory from time to time, and there were small conflicts with it, so that in the case of Chagil's continuous encroachment, Barca's territory gradually shrank, and by the end of 1988, Chagil had occupied all of Zemunia and had become a rival to Barka. Fast forward to 1989, when Chagil's territory was noticeably much more than Barka's, and with the exception of a small part of Gobalpur's territory, Chagil occupied almost the entire forest park.
Prime-age Chagil
At this time, the final battle between Chagil and Barka is inevitable, at this time Chagil is already a prime tiger, weighing 260 kilograms, and chagil's face has undergone subtle changes after becoming the tiger king, and his face has begun to grow long manes, just like the look of Aobai, looking more fierce. At this time, Barka was 10 years old, about forty or fifty years old according to our human age, and was no longer as powerful as before, and in the next three years of tug-of-war, Chagil gradually gained the upper hand.

Finally, in 1992, Chagil defeated Barka and became the ruler of the entire park, and once he ruled, it lasted for 5 years, if you count the time when he first occupied a small part of the territory as the Tiger King, Chagil's time as king was as long as 10 years, which is relatively rare in the records of the Tiger King anywhere in the world. After becoming the biggest Tiger King, Chagil has obviously become much more ferocious, daring to attack any object that is unpleasant to see, and the elephant will avoid it when it sees it, and even take the initiative to attack human cars.
Chagil's wife, Seata
When he defeated Barka as king, one of the first things Chagil did was to take over Barka's wife, but unfortunately, Chagil and the two tigresses had children who died prematurely, and it was not until 1993 that Sita gave birth to a litter of cubs, and Chagil became a father. However, the fate of the Tiger King is similar after all, Chagil defeated many Tiger Kings to become the biggest king, and now it is also facing the fate of being eliminated. By 2000, Chagil was 16 years old, equivalent to 70 years of age.

Chagil's tombstone
In successive conflicts with his two grandsons, Chagil became weaker and weaker, and eventually was scratched by one of the grandchildren in a fatal place, declaring that Chagil's rule was over, and in the last part of his life, Chagil was no longer able to hunt, he could only collect some carrion to survive, wandering on the edge of the park, living a life of hiding. When it died, its biggest "fan", the manager of the park, erected a monument to record the story of the legendary Tiger King.
