Tigers exhibit several distinct behaviors after successfully hunting a bison or other large prey. These behaviors can vary based on factors like the environment, the presence of other predators or scavengers, and whether the tiger has cubs to feed. Here are some typical post-hunt behaviors observed in tigers:
Resting and Eating: After making a kill, tigers often rest for a while before starting to eat. The exertion from the hunt requires them to regain their energy. Once rested, they will start feeding on the prey, often beginning with the softer parts like the internal organs.
Guarding the Kill: Tigers are solitary animals and need to protect their kill from other predators and scavengers such as hyenas, leopards, and vultures. They might stay close to the carcass, patrolling around it and occasionally roaring to assert their dominance and ward off potential threats.
Feeding Cubs: If the tiger is a mother with cubs, she will call them to the kill site once it is safe. The cubs will feed on the carcass under the watchful eye of the mother, who will remain alert to ensure their safety.
Covering the Kill: In some cases, tigers may cover the remains of their kill with leaves, grass, or dirt to hide it from other predators and scavengers. This behavior helps preserve the food for later consumption.
Returning to the Kill: Tigers do not always consume their prey in one sitting, especially if the prey is large like a bison. They will often leave the kill temporarily to rest or drink water and then return to continue feeding over the course of several days. They typically drag the carcass to a secluded spot to feed on it undisturbed.
Territorial Marking: After a successful hunt and meal, tigers might mark their territory around the kill site to signal to other tigers that the area is occupied. This is done through scent marking using urine or scratch marks on trees.
These behaviors are crucial for the tiger's survival, ensuring they can make the most out of their hard-earned meal and protect it from potential threats.

Excellent 👌
Amazing
Thank you
Where is Gaur ? And if I believe that the gaur is killed by the tiger so I tell you that male tigers are svanged more then hunting!!
@@savitaarya6989 if you see the video again, the Gaur is killed and it is lying in the side of the pond. I did not want to show an already killed gaur in detail.
You fool, tiger regularly prey on gaur
Kutch din ka ration to aa gaya,quite satisfactory situation😅
Yeah, next 4 to 5 days only eating and sleeping
awesome videography
Thank you
Must have been heartstopping to film the moments.
Yeah, thank you 😊
Do not add fake sounds..
@@LoneWolf-gf5ip I shoot with hight frame rate as all my videos filmed hand held. The voice will not be recorded at a high frame rate hence I have to use some close to natural sound in post processing. I feel there is nothing wrong in it as I can't post videos without sound
Incredible capture!
Thank you
Bisons in India ??
He meant Gaur or Water Buffalo probably
Gaur Or the Indian Bison... The largest natural cattle in the World...
@@MrKoala3000it's Gaur, there are no wild water buffalos in South India today...
@@harsha1989able I’m aware
Yess , huge .they are called " GAUR ".
THE SIZE OF THE TIGER IS HEARTBREAKING.
Yeah, 👍
Why?
Yet it still took down that huge bison. Tigers are amazing creatures. Along with jaguars.
Edit. Which by the way, I don't see the bison or bison carcass... click bait title..
@@5Lion5ofGod7 I did not want to show or highlight the carcass as few audience might not like. But if you observe first 2 seconds in the video you will see the carcass
Superb ❤
Thank you
Excellent 👌
Thank you
There are no Bison in India. It’s probably a gaur (sp).
@@bitsbobs5509 right, that's the Indian Gaur. My Mistake, wrote it incorrectly by mistake.. thanks for letting me know
@@DivineWildlife2882 you could argue that the Gaur is an Indian version of the North American Bison ie less hairy. Look at the physical ‘structure’ and see the similarities. It would be interesting to hear the opinion of a taxonomist if both species have a common ancestor.
@@bitsbobs5509 a very interesting topic. Both Gaur and Bison belongs to the sub family of Bovinae but differs in genus. Gaur belongs to the genus Bos and is native to South Asia and Southeast Asia. Bison belongs to the Genus Bison and is native to North America and Europe.
Actually, that is outdated, the gaur now belongs to the genus Bibos alongside the banteng and kouprey, the Bibos genus is the most basal extant genus of the subtribe Bovina (True Cattle), which is one of the three extant subtribes of cattle (tribe Bovini), while aurochsen (genus Bos) and the yak (Poephagus grunniens) are both more closely related to bison (genus Bison).
