Their primary food source is large ungulates, which are hoofed mammals like:
* Deer
* Wild pigs
* Water buffalo
* Antelope
* Cattle (in areas where they come into contact with livestock)
While they may occasionally eat smaller animals like birds, reptiles, or fish, these are not their primary food source.
Tigers are apex predators, meaning they sit at the top of the food chain, and their diet is crucial for maintaining a healthy ecosystem.
