What is the appetite of Tiger?

The diet of tigers like humans depends on the age and physical condition of the tiger. Tigers are strictly carnivorous and only eat high quality meat in large quantity. The diet of captive tigers are based on what a tiger eats in the wild and this diet usually consists of deer, wild pigs, wild boar, antelope etc. Of course the diet of a wild tiger is determined by the area in which the tiger is occupying. Tigers show preferance for certain prey, usually specias that are equivalent to their own body weight.It depends on the sub species of tiger, the Siberian tiger's usual diet is wild boar, roe,sika, musk, and red deer.. Although it will sometimes settle for smaller prey including birds, fish, and rodents. Some other preys known are livestock like cattle, and in some cases adults are known to kill moose. The most extreme of the Siberian tiger's diet is brown, and black bear. While black bears are less often preyed on because of their habitat, brown bears make up a small percent of a tiger's diet. The Bengal tiger's usual diet consists of wild boar, sambar, chital, hog, muntjak, and barisingha deer. Other prey is birds, fish, rodents, and livestock. Another big part of a tiger's diet is water buffalo, and nilgai. Rarest of tiger's prey is gaur, which has only been seen once being killed by a tiger. Bengal tigers also feed on other predators including, dholes, foxes, wolves, leopards, sloth bears, and crocodiles. The south china tiger's diet is livestock, sheep, and goats. Also small birds, reptiles, and rodents. In very rare cases they feed on young gaurs. Indochines's tigers diet is pig sambar, serow, hog, and muntjak deer. And small mammals.
