Stamina: High (They can fight animals larger than them like gaurs, elephants, rhinos & wild water buffaloes)
Range: Standard Melee Range
Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: Animalistic (They have shown the ability to plan ambushes. Man eaters are very good at planning escape routes)
Standard Tactics: When fighting other tigers, both of them get on their hind legs & use their paw strikes against one another. In the middle of the fight one of them rolls the other mid-air onto their back. When hunting prey, they use their stealth & get close enough to their prey in order to ambush them successfully. During an ambush they hold onto their prey & bite the throat of larger animals until they die of strangulation. For smaller animals they bite the nape until the prey dies of their injuries. Though these tactics they've been able to take down animals as big as elephants & rhinos despite usually not going for prey that's too big & heavy to take down for it's weight & size.
Weaknesses: They panic and run away at the sight of a pack of animals (The dholes from India can scare them off fairly easily). White tigers can have genetic diseases
Feats:
*Tigers have killed at least 373,000 people between 1800 and 2009 averaging about 1800 kills per year.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_attack
*Today, Tigers kill an average of 34 people per year in India.https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/where-lions-and-tigers-and-wolves-attack-and-kill-humans-180981539/
