Tigers will eat just about anything (even porcupines!), so even though there are only a few of them left, nothing specific that they eat is over-populating. The tigers are known for being at the top of the food-chain; it can eat anything it wants and hardly anything eats it. Tigers are strictly carnivores, but their favorite kind of food are ungulates: hoofed animals such as deer and wild pigs. Most tigers live in Asia, although many are scattered throughout the world in zoos. Even in Alaska, (where I live) we have three Siberian Tigers in our zoo: one mother and two cubs.

Siberian tigers always hunt at night, although they are not nocturnal, and always crouch down as to not let their prey see them. This is very a very common sight in all cats and is a sign that it is about to pounce. Tigers are only successful in about one or two attacks out of every twenty, so the prey is safe and usually makes it's getaway before it becomes dinner. Tigers can be lethal to men, but the only reason they would attack one is because of hunger. As individuals, they can kill more than any other mammal, but as a species that is not true. More than eighty pounds of meat can be eaten at one sitting (a lot of food for one tiger!), but if the prey is too big, they will bury it under dead leaves and grass and leave it for the next meal.
