Tigers may not end there; they occasionally kill and eat humans they meet. Eating humans is not typical for tigers, and they often do it when they are tired, old, injured, or ill. They cannot catch their usual prey and supplement their meals with humans in that state.

How long do they live

The longest a tiger can live in the wilderness is 15 years, and this is due to an inconsistency in meal supply and working for the food they eat. Water could also be a problem wherein some deserts; go four days without water. In captivity, where there are no natural threats, access to medical care, and regular food supply, a tiger can live up to 25 years.

Hyenas are the prey of lions. A male lion could be twice the size of a Hyena, and once they fight over prey, the Hyena could be in trouble. A single paw stroke kills a hyena in many instances since lions are four times heavier.

The Speed and leap combined to make them unbeatable when catching prey in full flight.
The Hyena runs as fast as it needs to go. The top speed is not the goal but the endurance. The hyenas can run fast for a long distance, and they usually run at 60 km/h or 37 mph. The Speed of the Hyena helps them achieve the status of a versatile predator since they can outrun all other prey without getting tired. They hunt 3 to 5km in pursuit of prey.
