The Eating Habits Of White Tigers
White tigers are Carnivores which means they are only meat-eaters. The white tiger’s diet is essentially identical to that of the Bengal tiger. They are carnivores of the highest kind. White tigers will eat wild boar, antelope, buffalo, gaur, nilgai, bara Singha, chital, sambar, Malayan tapir, camels, horses, muntjac, and yak. These are some of the animals that they will prey on.
Because white tigers are large cats, they will not hesitate to take on larger prey or even possible predators such as crocodiles, pythons, and sloth bears if the opportunity presents itself. They will augment their diet with small mammals. White tigers eat rabbits, fish, monkeys, hares, and peafowls, as well as fruits and vegetables. Silky Terrier Dog Breed Playing Around

White tigers can also prey on young rhinoceros and elephant calves, although this is an unusual occurrence. They are also able to prey on smaller animals like fish and monkeys. White tigers are dangerous animals and they can hurt and kill humans but eating them is very rare.
Tigers in the wild consume the majority of their food from large animals. White tigers will eat wild boar, deer species, buffaloes, moose, and horses. Wild boar is the most common food for tigers in the wild.
Animals and Insects
White Tigers feed on both large and small animals. White tigers eat pigs, antelope, buffalo, bara Singha, chital, sambar, Malayan tapir, camels, horses, muntjac, yak, young rhinoceros, and also elephant calves. Additionally, white tigers will eat fish, monkeys, small birds, and insects.
Fruits and Vegetables
They are carnivores which means they are meat-eaters. However, sometimes white tigers do eat berries and some other fruits and vegetables. White tigers love to feed on meat, but that doesn’t mean that they can feed on fruits.
