How much food does a tiger need? A lot—and it's all meat!

Tigers eat about 40 kilograms of meat per week, mostly deer, wild boar, and a variety of small mammals.

Compare that to some other animals. In one week:

• Lions eat about 40 kilograms of meat
• House cats eat 1.2 kilograms of dry food
• People eat about 23 kilograms of meat, vegetables, grains and dairy products
