Although the Sundarbans' wildlife populations have declined in recent decades, it is still home to a surprisingly diverse range of rare and exotic animal and plant species. Honey harvesters collect honey from numerous wild bee colonies in the forest. If you want to see a Bengal Tiger in the wild, your best bet is the Sundarbans. Numerous species of birds can also be seen there, making it a paradise for ornithologists and bird watchers alike.
