what do tigers eat and how do they hunt????
INTRODUCTION
My big question project is about what do tigers eat and how do they hunt.
what TIGERS eat
Like all wild cats a tiger is a carnivore. It eats live and dead animals. If a tiger was hungry enough it will attack a big bear. A tiger eats water buffalo, wild pigs, deer, and other large animals.
how do TIGERS hunt
When a tiger hunts is usually sneaks behind rocks, trees and bushes. Then in an explosive leaps it attacks its prey, such as a young tapir.
Next the tiger grabs its prey with its claws and pulls it to the ground. It bites its prey on the neck or the throat to kill them.
conclusion
Tigers are strong enough to drag huge animals a long way. A single tiger can pull a water buffalo that weighs a ton. It would take 13 men to move such an enormous weight.
