We’ve all heard of the Bengal tiger. There is a Bengal cat, too, though this little Southeast Asian spotted cat is better known as the leopard cat (it’s the wild ancestor of the hybrid cat fancy Bengal breed).
There is also a Bengal fox!
Also known as the Indian fox, it’s one of three or four fox species in India.
