It's estimated that tiger hunts are onlysuccessful about one in every 10 to 20 attempts. An adulttiger can consume up to 88 pounds of meat in one meal andwill often stay with its kill or bury it to return and dineover a period of days. It may not kill again for four or fivedays.
People also ask, how often does a tiger eat?
Method of Feeding Then they attempt to take down their prey with apowerful bite to the neck and/ or throat. Tigers may consumeup to 40 kg (88 lbs.) of meat at one time. It is estimated thatevery tiger consumes about 50 deer-sized animals each year,about one per week.
Similarly, you may ask, do tigers hunt together?
Meaning it hunts its prey alone, without the benefit ofthe strength in numbers. But for a tiger to hunt alone, it'snot at all so difficult as it may appear: tigers areprobably the only terrestrial predators to actively huntlarge prey (I daresay huge!), on a regular basis on theirown.
Most Tigers seek their food during the night, butsome prefer hunting during the day. Even more, some others preferto do it right at dawn or dusk. As Tigers can spend afew days without food, when they catch a prey they can eatup to 75 pounds at once, but usually, they consume a smalleramount.
