5. Antelopes: Tigers occasionally prey on antelopes, including species like nilgai, blackbuck, and four-horned antelope.
6. Goats and Sheep: Tigers may sometimes hunt domestic goats and sheep in areas where these animals are reared near tiger habitats.
7. Monkeys: Tigers may prey on monkeys, such as langurs and macaques, especially when other prey is scarce.
8. Hares: Tigers have been known to hunt hares, particularly in areas where their primary prey is not readily available.
