Bengal is ESTP - The Adventurer from the Jungle
Q. What is the Bengal's personality like?
Grrr! Human, did you see my eyes? I was just hunting the shadow under the sofa. It's too plain here. If this were a real jungle, my cool spotted pattern would shine even brighter! Well, still, the highest place in this house is already mine. Looking down from there, everything looks like my prey. I also like to play with water sometimes. That's the moment my inner wildness awakens. Don't try to stay still, I'm interested in everything that moves! Can't you hear my heart beating? That's the rhythm of me, the Bengal! Hey, won't you go on a jungle expedition with me? In this living room, of course!
