How much does the tiger eat a day?
Generally speaking, if you keep it in the zoo, you will eat 10 kg of meat every day. Eat about 20 kilograms of meat each time in the wild, the older one can eat 30 kilograms each time, and then last for nearly a week.

Eating habits of tigers:

They usually prey on large mammals, including hoofed animals such as wild deer, wild sheep, bison, wild boar, red deer, water deer, deer, musk deer, muntjac, etc., occasionally prey on wild birds, and also eat berries and large insects in autumn. The amount of meat eaten each time is 17-22 kg, and the big one can reach 30 kg per meal, and then you don't have to eat meat for 6 days. Sometimes they catch all kinds of small animals, such as birds, monkeys, fish and so on. To help digestion, they occasionally eat grass. Sometimes hungry tigers will prey on human livestock and even kill people (human-eating tigers are often poor guys who are old, weak, sick and unable to deal with healthy animals, and this tragedy usually only happens after humans enter the tiger's territory), so they are hated by some humans. If the food can't be eaten, they will also hide the rest, usually in a place not far from the water source, and come back to eat in a few days.
