My Nu Pets Palace: Knowing About Pattern And Colour Of Bengal

Name origin

When we hear the name Bengal, images of the fierce Bengal tigers come to mind. However, the Bengal gets its name from the scientific name of the Asian Leopard Cat, which is Prionailurus bengalensis. And indeed, the Bengal looks more like a leopard than a tiger.

Physical traits and behavior

The Bengal is a medium to large cat. The adult females weigh from 7-12 pounds on average. Bengal males weigh from 11 to 19 pounds. Sleek and strong, they indeed look like wild cats.

The Bengal’s coat is dense but soft to the touch, and it’s either marbled or spotted. The markings are well defined and include spots, rosettes (bi-color markings) and stripes. The Bengal can live an average of 15 years.

Color patterns

Bengals come in many color and pattern variations. The base color alone can go from silver-gray to brown. And then you add spots, stripes and swirls and you get a beautiful, exotic little beast.
