Tigers are carnivorous animals. Their favorite foods in the wild are herbivores such as deer, musk deer, rabbits, wolves, bears, antelopes and wild boar, and sometimes they prey on frogs, birds and other animals.

Cattle, sheep and chicken are generally fed in zoos, supplemented by eggs, milk, other minerals and trace elements. Tigers are mainly active at night and sleep in the grass during the day.

Extended information

Tigers can prey on prey larger than themselves. A tiger weighing about 111 to 251 kilograms can hunt an Indian bison weighing 911 kilograms.

Tigers in the wild can eat 41 kilograms of meat at a time. Without being disturbed, they usually return to the hunting place to enjoy the rest of the food within three to six days after catching their prey, until there is little food left. Tigers are different from other cats in that they are good at swimming. In the past, a tiger was recorded swimming for 29 kilometers.
