From the distance the tiger rises out of the grass and launches into the air; he covers the space between them in about three seconds and manages to get enough height quite easily to attack the man atop the elephant.
First, tigers attack you from behind, so if it surprises you, how are you going to get yourself at a better angle to do this? But the point is really moot. This suggestion comes from someone who has surely never taken on a tiger. A tiger — like most cats — has a non-load bearing spine. Their back legs are actually stronger than their front legs — hence their amazing leaping ability — and they can actually trap you underneath them if you try this, ensuring a faster death than just about any other method.
Nope, not a good idea. It might actually work…no one likes being poked in the eye! If you dig your finger into its eye, you may create so much pain that it backs off. Or not — it might shake you off and right into its mouth! How are you going to get that close anyway and still have enough self-control to attempt this?
Honestly, this might work — by luck, with a frail tiger. A very old or infirm tiger can be outrun by Usain Bolt! Tigers run up to 40 miles an hour over short distances. Usain Bolt can run 30 miles an hour over a short distance.
I can run a half a mile an hour over approximately ten yards, and the rest of humanity falls somewhere between Bolt and me. Therefore, Bolt may survive with just his legs and high-priced crosstrainers if the tiger is injured, collecting a pension, or lazy. The rest of us are probably out of luck. This is a last-ditch idea but supposedly a tiger aims for your neck. This is a pure desperation move — a tiger can swat at your head and break your neck, or it can aim for your arm and let you bleed out.
The only real weapon an unarmed human has that could take down a tiger is its intelligence. Hence, the best plan is to be prepared no matter how unlikely the scenario. In this case, our intelligence will not allow us to defeat a tiger with our bare hands.
That is not humans nor tigers were designed. We have developed weapons and tools over centuries that we should use instead to overcome it.
So barehanded survival? Not likely. Here are other methods, and they involve staying as far away as possible:. Aim to kill. Okay, a firearm and pepper spray are much better ideas. And tigers have 17 cm 7 in teeth, and 7. A tiger can behead a human with one swipe. The largest of the tiger family, the male Bengal, averages around kg lb , while females weigh up to kg lb.
To avoid becoming part of this gruesome body count, what should you do? How about climbing a tree? What happens if you fight back? Movement will alert the tiger, and turn its deadly attention to you. Even if the tiger looks old, injured, or sick, it is still a threat. Even the weakest tigers are extremely dangerous.
Panicking is the worst thing you can do. This is not a good time to give in to your fight or flight response. Back away slowly, without making eye contact, and do not show your back to the animal. As soon as the tiger is out of sight, get out of there as fast as you can. If a tiger spots you, and you are with a child, put it on your shoulders. It will make you look bigger and more intimidating. The same goes for if you have an adult with you, and can get them on your shoulders.
Stand tall and puff yourself up. No matter how scared you are, do not pee your pants. Tigers are attracted to urine. That might get you killed. There are more tigers in captivity than there are in the wild. In the U. Their careers were cut short when a white male tiger, named Mantacore, mauled Roy Horn. Animal handler Chris Lawrence believes that the showman had neglected to spend time with the animals for several years, weakening the necessary bond between the tiger and the performer.
There are many different stories about what happened that night. Horn lost an enormous amount of blood from the large puncture wounds on his neck, and needed brain surgery. Today, Horn is able to walk short distances without his scooter, and can talk, with difficulty. And remember, Roy Horn and Chris Lawrence are both professionals, who spent years of their lives working with tigers.
Quite simply, the national parks of India do not have any fence or walls. The Tigers move in and around the national parks to mark their territory, and in search of food. So often they come out of the forest and visit the outskirts of the resorts and the villages.
It is important to know that generally, a Tiger is not interested in human beings. It is often noticed that he will leave the trail if he hears or sees you on the same trail.
Having said this, it does not mean that you throw the caution to the winds. Also, there are times that a Tiger would do a mock charge, i. These are serious and life-threatening situations, so you cannot take any charge lightly, hence it is best to be prepared, and remember the below points if you happen to remember when you encounter a Tiger on foot. If you happen to sight a Tiger first then stay mum. Be breathless if possible.
It is not easy not to get nervous, but your stillness before he notices you is your major chance of escape. If he has not noticed you, then stay quiet, wait for him to move on, and you later move in the opposite direction. Escaping should be the only motive, and avoid being foolishly heroic. Your anxiety can force a Tiger to take a step which he is not inclined to, i.
If you happen to be sitting on the trail, please stand up gradually, and stand tall. The Tiger must see you as a human being and not any unsuspecting prey animal. Tigers usually attack their prey from behind, especially when they happen to be sitting. He will mistake you for a small prey animal and charge. Hence stand up. By doing so, you have cleared to him that you are a human and not his natural prey.
If the Tiger is upset with you, he will show it by a growl, or he might take a stalking position. Now, what is a stalking position? Basically, before a Tiger attacks, he crouches, his ears rollback, he freezes, focuses on his prey, snarls, and charge. If he is taking that position, then you need to start backing up. Do not show your back to him, rather slowly and steadily just back up.
When you love a dog his ears rollback, but not so with a Tiger. It is a clearcut warning to you, that he does not like your presence. Hence keep backing off slowly until the Tiger is well out of sight. Ears rolled back of a Tiger.
