How do tigers avoid being eaten?

Answer 1

If you are, for some reason, attacked by a tiger, survival is unlikely. It does not help that tigers, being so iconic, have had many myths spread about how best to deal with them, including the three below, posted as a precious answer to this question. Tigers have a strong bite and teeth designed specifically for tearing flesh. They have claws capable of dealing tons of damage and unless you are encountering a young one, they are probably bigger than you.

#1. lie down and play dead. if the tiger no longer feels threatened, the tiger will leave and you will survive.

The tiger will kill you and eat you.

#2. Gag the tiger. tigers have a very strong gag reflex so they will throw up(if preformed incorrectly, you can say goodbye to your hand)

Note: Do NOT do this. This was a fake survival tip invented by comedy/magic duo Penn and Teller. You will lose your hand and make the tiger mad.

#3. Bite him on the nose. tiger's noses are soft and wet and extremely vulnerable, tiger noses are very sensitive. if you bite the tiger on the nose, the tiger will go through a lot of pain and can create enough time for you to escape.

Also not true. Seems to be based on a popular picture of a woman (an animal trainer) playfully biting one of her trained tigers on the nose.

The best way to fend off a tiger is to use some sort of hefty object to fight back. Make yourself big and make lots of noise. Like many predators, if the tiger feels you are more trouble than it is worth, they will leave you alone.

THe best bet is not to be attacked though. If you feel a tiger is stalking you, get to a safe place, make as little noise as possible, and get out of sight soon. These animals are apex predators, and it is highly unlikely you will survive if it wants you dead.

Answer 2

People who live in the same habitat as tigers usually arm themselves with weapons. It is also common for people to wear masks on the back of their heads; tigers are very hesitant to attack when they think their prey is looking at them, so a mask on the back of the head can be pretty effective.

Answer 3

The best way is to avoid areas frequented by these predators. They are extremely stealthy, and you could not get away if they attack.

Answer 4

As simple show of ferocity usually does the trick!

Answer 5

Well when you are in the area near a tiger you should be well prepared for instance, with a knife, gear, or any other sort of weapon like a gun

Answer 6

scence the tigers are real fast they can just run or just kill the predator.

Answer 7

Tigers are the apex predator in their habitat and are eaten by no other animals.

Answer 8

Don't go where tigers are.
