if you're doing a report on tigers or something like that, this info might help
i got this from http://www.seaworld.org/infobooks/Tiger/diettiger.html-
A tiger's favorite prey is deer and wild boar. Deer species may include sambar, chital, sika deer, swamp deer, and hog deer, among others. Depending on the habitat, tigers may also eat antelope, buffalo, guar, domestic livestock, peafowl, monkeys, civets, porcupines, fish, frogs, crabs, large monitor lizards, pythons, and young elephants or rhinos. Grass, fruits, and berries are also eaten.
Tigers are essentially solitary animals, except for courting pairs and females with young. Tigers with adjoining ranges may have friendly relationships, but even individuals with overlapping ranges usually keep 2 to 5 km (1-3 mi.) apart.
Though they hunt alone, tigers sometimes share their kills with other tigers.
Tigers have been legally protected from hunting in all countries of their range, except Burma, since the late 1970s.
Tigers are illegally shot and poisoned mainly for two reasons: their threat (or perceived threat) to domestic wildlife or people, and most commonly, for monetary gain.
