Bengalii, the children of the Beastlands!

First Post
OK, this is a race I came up with a while back. Let me know what you think!

Bengalii
--Str +2, Dex +2
--Medium Outsider (Native)
--Base Movement: 40ft.
--Darkvision 60ft, Low-Light Vision
--+4 racial bonus on listen and spot checks
--A natural armor bonus to AC of +2
--Scent (Ex)
--Fury (Ex): When a Bengalii enters combat, it must make a Will save (DC=10+character's HD) or fly into a berserk rage (a Bengalii may not voluntarily fail the save). A Bengalii attacks until all opponents or itself are dead. The Bengalii gains +1 to Strength, +1 to Constitution, and takes a -2 to AC; and may not end the rage voluntarily. Otherwise, this ability functions like the Barbarian's Rage class ability. The bonuses given by entering their Fury start off at +1 at their first HD, the for every 3 HD (counting class levels) after that increases by +1 (+2 at 4th, +3 at 7th, and so forth). Their penalty to AC does not change.
-- Claws: A Bengalii gains two natural claw attacks doing 1d4 damage. The Bengali can also make an off-hand claw attack with a free hand, whilst fighting with a weapon, as a secondary attack at a -5 penalty. This unarmed attack does not provoke attacks of opportunity, and the Bengalii can choose to have it's unarmed strike deal lethal or nonlethal damage.
-- Graceful: +2 racial bonus on all Balance, Jump, and Tumble checks. +1 racial bonus to reflex saves.
-- Sprint (Ex): can move at eight times her normal speed for a number of rounds equal to 1+ her Con modifier, then becomes fatigued (-2 Str, -2 Dex, can't run or charge) for the rest of the encounter.
-- Languages: Common, Celestial. Bonus Languages: Any related to a good aligned race, plus certain others that can be learned by a good-aligned race, such as Orcish. Bengalii have little tolerance for evil creatures and rarely, if ever, can tolerate them long enough to learn their language.
-- Favored Class: Fighter OR Barbarian. A multiclass Bengalii ignores the higher of his/her Fighter or Barbarian class levels when determining if he/she takes an XP penalty. If both are at the same level, neither counts.
-- A Bengalii Barbarian looses it's Fury racial feature, and instead gains 1 additional use of their rage class feature each day.
-- Level Adjustment: +2

Bump? I'd like some opinions on these guys, please.
Please change the name as it sounds exactly like the word the natives of the Bengal state of India use to refer to themselves.

If this race is supposed to be tiger-like, why not call them Lesser Rakshasas? Or Tygrans?
 

Sorry, I didn't think there would be much confusion on it.

Also, they're not tiger-like, per say, though they could be, the above was more a canine-feline form. You could also modify them somewhat to be more fitting of an avian form.

But other than the name, what do you think of them?
