The onager is a [[herbivore]] and eats grasses, herbs, leaves, fruits, and saline vegetation when available. In dry habitats, it browses on shrubs and trees, but also feeds on seed pods such as ''[[Prosopis]]'' and breaks up woody vegetation with its hooves to get at more succulent herbs growing at the base of woody plants.
The succulent plants of the [[Zygophyllaceae]] form an important component of its diet in Mongolia during spring and summer
When natural water sources are unavailable, the onager digs holes in dry riverbeds to reach subsurface water.
