丛林女王(The jungle queen)

你能听到寂静吗？试着坐在印度中部坎哈国家公园的吉普车里，等待孟加拉虎的出现。每年，国际老虎日都会引起人们对这些强大但濒临灭绝的大型猫科动物的关注。孟加拉虎不仅仅是它们明显的橙色皮毛和黑色条纹。 它们是顶级捕食者，对它们所栖息的生态系统的健康和平衡至关重要。通过控制鹿和野猪等猎物种群，老虎有助于塑造植被模式，并支持其环境的整体生物多样性。

Think you can hear silence? Try sitting in a jeep in Kanha National Park in the heart of India, waiting for a Bengal tiger to appear. Every year, International Tiger Day draws attention to these powerful yet endangered big cats. Bengal tigers are more than their unmistakable orange coats and black stripes. They are apex predators, essential to the health and balance of the ecosystems they inhabit. By keeping prey populations like deer and wild boar in check, tigers help shape vegetation patterns and support the overall biodiversity of their environments.
