Why does a tiger not attack a human?
Also, humans are not a part of their usual prey so they will usually not attack a human. Most of all tiger attacks on humans are by tigers who are old and weak or have lost their teeth and can’t hunt animals and hence, are forced to look for easier prey or when a human comes too close to one when they’re eating.
