More than two third of the Sundarban is in Bangladesh and rest of the part is in West Bengal state of India. The whole area covered about 20,400 square kilometers. Sundarban is the biggest mangrove forest in the world. A big number of trees, animals are found in here. Many rivers go through the forest after they are created by the Bay-of-Bengal. The rivers inside the forest are full of fishes. And also the crocodiles are not so rare.
