Tigers have very specific ecological needs, namely cover, water and prey.
Though tigers are tolerant of many natural environmental conditions, they still need specific types of cover and prey. The clearing of the habitat for agricultural purposes or logging reduces cover and prey, and therefore reduces tiger populations. Like its ancestor the Saber-toothed cat the Bengal Tigers teeth are vital to its survival. The Saber tooth cat had long canines, which it used to stab prey. Its jaw structure enabled it to kill with a powerful, downward bite.
