Tigers hunt alone and eat primarily medium to large sized herbivores. Examples of locally important prey items include sambar deer, wild pigs, gaur, water buffalo and domestic cattle. Like many predators, they are opportunistic and have shown the capability to eat much smaller prey such as as langurs, peacocks and hares. They also may kill such formidable predators as sloth bear, canids, leopards, crocodiles and pythons as prey. Old and injured tigers have been known to attack humans or domestic cattle and are then termed as man-eaters or cattle-lifters which often leads to them being captured, shot or poisoned.
Adult elephants are too dangerous to tigers to serve as common prey, but conflicts between elephants and tigers do sometimes take place.

Primarily the sambar, the chital, the wild boar, the nilgai or blue bull, the langur, and the pea fowl. To a lesser extent the cinkara or Indian gazelle, the porcupine, livestock (such as donkeys, goats, sheep, and camels), carrion, the sloth bear, pangolins, snakes, turtles, lizards, crocodiles, frogs, fish, and crabs. Again, that is to a lesser extent.
