Can tigers eat other tigers?

Yes. If two males were to fight over territory, and on the rare occasion that a tiger was killed, other tigers don't normally eat the remains. But a male tiger will kill, and sometimes even eat very young cubs, if he is not the father, and the mother can't stop him. When the mother doesn't have any cubs to tend, her body will adjust and begin another breeding cycle much faster, giving the male the chance to breed with her, advancing his genetic line.
