Bengal tigers are carnivores; the young initially drink their mother's milk and later consume meat from animals caught by the female. As adults, Bengal tigers hunt independently, employing ambush tactics and active hunting strategies, including group hunts. Their diet consists of deer, wild boars, small mammals, and large mammals, as well as caimans, pheasants, iguanas, galagos, and antelopes. The species obtains food through ambush and active hunting. A Bengal tiger’s daily food requirement ranges from 3 kilograms to 7 kilograms. Some cultures consume this animal, but it is not considered halal or kosher.
