Answer Hi, Jamie
1- The Caspian tiger ate any animal it could catch, but its favorites were the red deer and the wild boar.
2- The Bengal tiger's favorite prey are the sambar and chital deer, the wild boar and the buffalo. Each tiger, however, might like a particular prey. Some of them like monkeys, for example, and there was even one that liked fish over anything else.
3- The Siberian tiger feeds mostly on wild boar, roe deer, sika deer, and moose. However, they will eat anything they can catch, because prey is usually scarce in their territory and they canīt afford to be picky. They even eat other carnivores such as wolves, bears, wolverines and leopards.
4- I've answered this before, please check past answers.
