Answer:
The Bengal tiger hunts on their own. They look for prey from the cover of bushes, trees, and long grass. When they spot prey, they carefully stalk it. When stalking, a tiger keeps its head steady, its eyes focused on its prey, and its body low. It stays down ( positioned so that the wind blows from the prey toward the tiger). A whiff of tiger scent would alert the prey to its presence. When the tiger is close enough to its prey it suddenly rushes at the animal. It uses its long, heavy tail to keep its balance as the prey changes direction. If the tiger attacks from too far away, the prey will probably escape. Tigers can run fast only over short distances of up to about 82 feet ( 25 meters). When the rush is timed right, the tiger uses its strong front legs and sharp claws to grab the back of the neck, shoulders, chest of its prey. If the prey is big, the tiger may grab its ankles to trip it. Once the prey has been brought down, the tiger bites the throat, which suffocates the prey. Tigers can be injured by bites, kicks, and scratches as they do this.
