All tigers will fail to capture their prey if they don't succeed in coming into a distance of the prey of no less than approximately 30-40 feet (10-12 meters). The hunt starts when the Tiger suddenly explodes in its movement attacking the prey. The hunt is always very short

Tigers are solitary hunters, which means that they usually hunt alone rather then in packs, unless the case is with a mother and her cubs, in which then they would hunt together in order to teach her cubs how to survive and catch their prey. They are also prone to hunting at night rather then day.

Tigers use their great weigh, mass and strength to their advantage while hunting. Typically they will hide wherever they can when they notice suitable prey nearby, the element of surprise is a big part of a tigers hunting technique. When the prey is close enough, they will use their mass and strength in an attempt to keep it off balance, and will generally bite into the preys neck without letting go until it dies of strangulation. If the prey is rather small they tend to bite into the back of its neck rather then the side or front, until it dies of a broken spinal code, pierced windpipe or broken jugular vein.

Tigers are primarily nocturnal hunters, preferring to hunt during the night when they can utilize their keen senses and stealth to catch prey. However, they may also hunt during the early morning or late evening hours.

Tigers have to be able to hunt at a young age. By the time they are a few months old, they watch their mother hunt, and learn how to make a kill. By the time they are between six months and one year old, they are hunting on their own.

By the time cubs are around eighteen months old, they have learned how to capture their own food to be self sustaining. But, they began imitating and learning from their mothers at a much earlier age in play.

Any animal that they think they can catch and eat. Such as deer, antelope and wild pigs.

The tiger hunts meat. But they only hunt in a range of 30 - 60 meters.
