The tiger that ate a man

Tiger

Tiger can be called the "king of all beasts", where it passes, no one animal dares to blindly jump on the ground, or there may be a small life.

This is the strength at the top of the food chain!

It's a "tiger whistle", it can cause "a thousand mountain birds fly out, ten thousand trails of people extinguished" the effect of silence, the deterrent effect that is a bar.

Tiger

As the king of all animals, tigers are found all over the world.

Whether it is the cold Siberian forests, the open African savannah, or the tropical jungles and swamps, the tiger can adapt to survive.

Its fur is usually light yellow or brownish yellow, covered with black markings, while some tigers are special, with white and silver interspersed.

The tiger is a large feline with a round head, short ears, strong limbs, and a long, thick tail with black rings and black hair at the end.

This look is a large kitty well.

As the old saying goes, "one mountain does not allow two tigers", tigers generally act alone, only when in heat will they look for the opposite sex to live together, and when mating is over, they wave goodbye.

There are nine subspecies of tigers in the world, namely the South China tiger, Siberian tiger, Bengal tiger, Indo-Chinese tiger, Malay tiger, Sumatran tiger, Bali tiger, Javan tiger, and Caspian tiger.

But in the middle of the 20th century, the Caspian, Javan and Balinese tigers became extinct, and it is difficult to see them on the earth anymore.

According to the data, by 2016, there were only 3,890 wild tigers in the world, which is very rare and has become a rare and endangered species.

The tigers currently living in China are the South China tiger, the Siberian tiger, as well as the Bengal tiger, and the Southeast Asian tiger. The Siberian tiger, also known as the Northeast tiger, is a subspecies of tigers that we are familiar with.

Tigers are carnivores and their sharp teeth and claws are not for show, they are fierce when hunting for food and in most cases can kill in one hit.

Animals like bison, wild deer, wild boar, and so on are a delicacy in its recipe.

Perhaps some people will ask, so fierce tiger, if humans go up the mountain accidentally encountered, will be eaten? After all, not long ago, a village in the northeast just came to the news of capturing a wild tiger.

So, do tigers eat people? The answer is yes.

Although humans generally do not come into contact with tigers, this does not mean that they do not eat people.

If a human accidentally enters a tiger's territory, he or she may be preyed upon by the tiger. Some hungry tigers may also choose to hunt humans because they are desperate for food.

Tigers' cannibalism

-The tiger that ate hundreds of people in 10 years was finally killed

More than a hundred years ago, a Bengal tiger appeared in Nepal, bringing deep fear to the residents.

In Nepal, it ate more than 200 people. To kill this "man-eating tiger", the Nepalese government also sent troops to siege it.

But guess what? It couldn't be caught!

This "man-eating tiger" successfully escaped under the siege of the army and came to the territory of India, bringing a nightmare to the Indian people. Yes, it has eaten more than 200 people in India!

The Indian government took a look and said, "This is not good! This "man-eating tiger" will only increase the number of victims, so dozens of hunters were sent to kill this "man-eating tiger".

When the tiger tried the law again, a hunter bravely struck and killed the tiger, ending a 10-year nightmare.

When the hunter looked at the tiger's body, he found that the tiger was already very old and had lost all its teeth.

It was probably because of this that it couldn't catch its prey in the mountains, so it put its hunting target on the unarmed humans.

-Tiger attacks tourist at Badaling Wildlife Park

This tiger died quite wrongly, after all, the cause or the unruly tourists to take the blame.

In Badaling Safari Park, there is an explicit rule that visitors to the Northeast Tiger Park in their cars, to lock the doors, close the windows, and strictly forbidden to get off!

The four words "strictly forbidden to get out of the car" are also specially marked red, very eye-catching.

And, before entering the park also signed a safety agreement. The first article of the agreement "beast area must be closed, lock the car door, car windows, no feeding food, strictly prohibited from getting off" is written.

But this woman blind heart blind, 19 meters from the northwest gate of the Northeast Tiger Park after the tarmac, disregarding the staff's advice bent on getting off, and at the rear of the car to see what this.

Then a horrible scene happened, not far from the car, suddenly sprang out of a northeastern tiger, rushed to the woman's back to bite her back hard, and then dragged her away. Another tiger also rushed out from the side and bit the girl on the right side of her face.

The people in the car looked panicky, another tourist rushed out to try to save the person, but did not expect, in the process of rushing out to whack the tiger, was bitten by a third tiger left occipital and threw his head violently ..... The tourist who saved the life of the people was just gone.

Some netizens broke the news that the tourist who saved the life of a mother, to save their non-compliant daughter's life lost in the mouth of the tiger, is not worth it.

Finally, the staff who came to support rescued the previous tourist who did not follow the rules and killed the man-eating tiger.

This tourist disregarded the warning and ended up in this situation, and also dragged his mother into it, so I can only say that poor people must have hatred.

After reading these two examples, we all found a common thing, that is, the tiger that bit a person was killed in the end.

Why is this? Wouldn't it be better to lock them up?

Tiger expert Dr. Ulas Karns once said, "We must be ruthless in getting rid of tigers that have killed people; there are many dangers in allowing a tiger that has killed a human to go free."

When a tiger determines that humans are better to kill than other wild animals and puts humans on its menu, the consequences are endless.

This is because a tiger that has eaten a human, if not killed, is likely to become a "man-eating tiger" like the one in Nepal, endangering the safety of other humans.

If a tiger sends a message to its kind that it can hunt humans, it will undoubtedly put more humans in danger.

Secondly, on earth, in a society dominated by humans, an animal that threatens the safety of humans will be shot down by humans, whether it is for subjective or objective reasons. Never end this point, humans have been doing a good job.

So, when we face a tiger that has eaten a human, we never show mercy and often shoot it down.
