Tiger takes down dog

Tigers are apex predators with a keen instinct for survival. In their natural habitat, competition for resources can be fierce, leading them to hunt opportunistically. If a tiger encounters a domestic dog in its territory, it may perceive it as potential prey, especially if the dog appears vulnerable or behaves in a way that triggers the tiger's hunting instincts. Additionally, tigers have adapted to consume a variety of prey, and dogs may fall within their prey spectrum. Factors such as hunger, territorial defense, or perceived threat could prompt a tiger to attack and consume a dog. While tigers generally avoid confrontations with larger animals, they are known to take advantage of smaller prey when the opportunity arises, which could include domestic dogs.
