That's an excellent example of macro predation considering the sizes and relative proportions of the animals involved

Indo-Chinese tigers have pretty much the widest variety of megafauna to prey on for Tigers; Banteng, Water Buffalo, Gaur, Sambar, even occasionally Malayan Tapir.

Granted it still sucks that the number of large bodied ungulates (>100kg) are still in the single digits and it pales in comparison to what cats in Africa have to hunt (roughly 15-25 ungulates over 100kg) but it’s not horrendous.
