Huzzah!

This is a fine question, my boy, a fine question indeed! Long have I researched the eating habits of the Tigris family, and I must say that I have been quite curious about this myself! It would seem quite confounded to suggest that a tiger would eat a spider, considering the rainforest spider's tendency to be fatally poisonous. However! Through my years of research, I have discovered quite irrevocably that the tiger has an incredibly resilient stomach lining. Also due to their high weight, they are less susceptible to the effects of spider poisoning. A tiger would have to eat 5-6 highly poisonous Spiders in rapid succession to be fatally affected.

For the most part, the tiger will tend to consume larger, meatier sources of food such as warthogs, baby rhinos, or spider MONKEYS, but in some cases when desperation sets in, a tiger will resort to a poisonous spider for sustenance.
