Since the Sundarbans is located in a coastal area, the water is relatively salty. In all other habitats, tigers drink fresh water. It is rumored that the saltiness of the water in this area has put them in a state of constant discomfort, leading them to be extremely aggressive. Freshwater lakes have been artificially made but to no avail.
Another possibility is that these tigers have grown used to human flesh due to the weather. Cyclones in this Sundarbans kill thousands, and the bodies drift out in to the swampy waters, where tigers scavenge them.
