Tigers are carnivores, and their natural diet mainly includes prey, such as deer, wild boar, and buffalo. However, there are cases where tigers attack humans. This often occurs in areas where tiger habitats overlap with areas of human activity, such as in some remote rural areas of India and Southeast Asia.


Tigers may attack humans when they cannot obtain enough prey, or when they are frightened or injured. Therefore, when in contact with tigers, you must take appropriate safety measures to protect yourself and avoid unnecessary contact with tigers. At the same time, when walking or performing activities in the habitat of wild animals, try to avoid acting alone and it is best to be accompanied by professionals.
