Solution

It is true that these animals do not eat plants. They hunt and eat herbivorous animals like deer, gaur, bison, zebra, giraffe, etc which are dependent on plants for food. If there are no plants, herbivorous animals will not survive. So, animals like tiger, wolf, lion and leopard will have nothing to eat. This shows that these animals cannot survive without plants.
