Then the tiger will kill it by biting its neck or throat. Sometimes tigers drag their prey weighing as much as or more than its own weight up to 250 feet without stopping. Tigers do not naturally prey on humans. Only when they are sick or injured they will eat humans. Broken teeth, broken claws, failing strength, gunshot wounds, and imbedded porcupine quills cause them to attack humans.
Most healthy tigers avoid people.
If you scare a tiger it may attack in self-defense. About 50 people each year is killed by a tiger. About 800 people were killed each year earlier in this century. Tiger babies are called cubs. A tiger cub weighs about half that of a human body.
