They Sleep Near Their Prey
Tigers sleep for a long duration, averaging 18 to 20 hours per day. Tigers sleep on rocks, in their natural habitat’s grass, close to their prey, or anywhere they feel the need to repose. Tigers rarely use more energy than is required, as doing so would result in their requiring more food. After the hunt and eat their prey, tigers generally sleep. Because a tiger can survive on a single huge prey for several days, he eats as much as he can and then rests or sleeps near it until he’s ready to gorge again. Tigers relax near their meal to avoid being eaten by other predators. Once a tiger has consumed all of its prey, it relaxes and sleeps. When the tiger reawakens, he resumes his quest for more food.
