Which animal gets food by catching its prey?

Correct answer: Tiger

An animal that catches other animals for food is called a predator, and the animals it catches are prey. Predators usually have adaptations such as strong jaws, sharp teeth, claws, speed, or special senses that help them find and capture food. A tiger is a carnivorous predator. It obtains much of its food by hunting other animals rather than by eating grass or other plant material.

Option D, tiger, is correct. Deer, cow, and goat are generally herbivores in this school-level classification; they obtain food mainly by grazing or eating vegetation. They may move quickly or defend themselves, but that does not make them animals that catch prey for food. The important distinction is between a carnivore that hunts prey and a herbivore that feeds on plants. Therefore the tiger is the clear choice.
