Sometimes a tiger chases 20 different animals before the tiger finally catches prey. A tiger with cubs is more determined so she may catch one out of every five animals chased. When cubs are two months old. At six months they have learned how to kill. By sixteen months they can feed themselves.
Tigers approach their prey slowly and silently.
Once they are close to their prey they dash and jump onto their victim. Thirty-three yards is the farthest a tiger can run at top speed. 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.
