Tigers, leopards, lions, and snow leapards kill large prey using asphyxiation. They bite the animal on the throat or around the muzzle to suffocate it. Jaguars, however, have an extremely strong bite force, and they kill their prey by biting it on the skull, crushing the skull.

What precautions should you take to protect tigers?
