Approximately two thirds of Bangladesh is fertile arable land in the country is home to the “Royal Bengal Tiger”, leopards, Asian elephants (mostly migratory herds from Bihar), and a few black bears.
There are also plenty of monkeys, langurs, gibbons (the only ape on the subcontinent), otters and mongooses.
Reptiles include the sea tortoise, mud turtle, river tortoise, pythons, crocodiles and a large variety of snakes.
There are over 600 species of birds: the best known is the mynah but the most spectacular are the kingfishers and eagles.
Bangladesh is an excellent place to practice bird watching.
