Tigers are carnivores, they are most recognizable by their dark vertical stripes on their orange-red fur with a white belly. The tiger is the largest mammal in the feline family and the third largest among carnivores (after polar bears and brown bears).
Tigers hunt alone, their food is mainly medium-sized herbivores such as deer, wild boar, wild buffalo… However, they can also catch larger or smaller prey if circumstances permit. .
Currently, filming tiger hunting is extremely rare because they are very few in the wild. And in the video is a scene of an 18-month-old male tiger hunting.
It hides among the leaves, moving very gently so as not to make a sound. In front of me now is a herd of deer eating grass. It slowly approached its prey as close as possible before starting to speed up to chase the deer.
Deer ran frantically into the forest, and behind them the tigers were giving a close chase. Although the deer’s speed is not equal to that of a tiger, this is an 18-month-old tiger, without much hunting experience, so the adult deer escaped.
Even so, the cub still managed to catch a fawn, perhaps because it was too small to keep up with its mother. The mother deer in the distance tried to call her cubs in vain and could only stand still and watch the cobras disappear.
