Tigers are the top predators in their living environment. Except for another tiger, there are not many animals that pose a serious threat to adult male tigers. One to one, tigers can kill all animals, almost every one. It may be a wolf, a buffalo, a leopard or even a bear. Bengal tigers in India often hunt lazy bears, while Siberian tigers in Russia often hunt brown bears and black bears.

In addition, there are some rare cases of solitary tigers killing adult elephants, which prove that they are not afraid of elephants at all. Tigers also have a more dangerous predator, that is crocodiles. Both animals have hunted each other, and usually the tiger has the upper hand.

Predatory characteristics

The tiger's most complex attack weapon is its thick teeth and retractable claws. Predation is extremely fierce, rapid and decisive, and the principle is to consume the least energy to get as much as possible. But when hunting wild animals, if you are not sure enough, you will never do it.

When the tiger meets its prey, it will crouch down, seek cover, and slowly dive in. When the prey comes within the attack distance, it will suddenly jump out and attack its back to avoid being hurt by the resistance of the prey.

The tiger will first scratch its prey's back with its claws, drag it to the ground, and then bite its throat with sharp canine teeth to suffocate it until its prey dies. This attack mode is also the most typical attack mode of cats. The tiger's special attack way is to bite off the other person's spine, which is more common in big cats.
