The Bengal tiger (Pathera tigris tigris) prey selection is most dominant for the spotted deer, which is also in high abundance in the Bengal's range. In a research article authored by MMH Khan, around 80% of the tiger's diet was adult spotted deer. Other prey items were boar and other, smaller prey species.
