Tigers fuck tigers. Most animals attack in self defense only but a tiger will hunt you down and eat you and you can't outrun it.
Even Usain Bolt isn't outrunning a tiger.
Fact. I have a friend who is a fellow photographer who showed me a video of his convoy of guides on elephants he was traveling with through a refuge in India. A tiger popped out of the treeline into the clearing they were traveling through and attacked a guide that was traveling behind them. From the time it erupted from the treeline to the time it jumped ONTO the man on TOP of the elephant, maybe three or four seconds elapsed. I'd gather fromt the video the distance was around fifty yards. It was quite remarkable. (the man did not survive, and nor did the tiger, for reference). Usain Bolt wouldn't even be able to react, let alone run away. Mind-bpgglingly fast. I was stunned. That said, I'd like to put tigers up at the top of my list with hippos. Fuck. Tigers.

Not the video. Same situation. Distance was smaller. Cool vid though. This was in 2017.

The y have been trying to ban elephant-guided tiger viewing tours for some time now becasue this happens every few years, and elephants often get injured as well.

Wow thats funny that it sounded identical and crazy that it was a different time.
Im all for banning those elephant guides. It puts everyone in danger. The people, the elephants and the tigers.

It's one of many exploitative forms of "wildlife mangement" in India. I have zero respect for their handling of wildlife refuges and the respective wildlife. That video is similar enough... I can't believe my friend even went to do this as he is employed with ADFG and works thus with wildlife here. I find that the allmighty dollar compells photographers to do things they are morally opposed to. This is a guy that warns people not to go to (x) or (y) every year becasue of increased bear activity during salmon spawning. Go figure.

Its unfortunate the way tourism fuels the endless suffering those animals go through. There are other countries doing the same thing.
I could never give my money just to "pet" a sedated & abused tiger or ride an elephant who's spirit is broken. Its disgusting.

Utterly. The video you just showed got my ire up. A perfect segue to how elephants are treated in India and East Asia. Horrible, horrible, horrible. More on topic (I'm awful at tangents)- I'm mortified of giant jellyfish. Can;t even stand getting in the ocean, but for whatever reason I have a mortal fear of jellyfish. Gay AF, I know...  Am I the only one- as I suspect- who is this scared of jellyfish? Assuming yes...

Yeah that video of that tiger attempting to take that guy right off the elephant is insane
Here's that video I mentioned of African lions taking two unfortunate cheetahs.
Start at 1:14 and then after that kill go to 2:10
Now yeah cheetahs are the smallest of the big cats, but they still go anywhere from 80 to 140 pounds...and those male lions just rag doll'd them.
The raw power is just incredible.

When I was living in Florida with a creek in my backyard my wife and I were just getting in bed for the night when we heard a lot of comotion outside. I grabbed a flashlight and checked it out. It was literally at least 10 raccoons in a circle. They were watching the 2 raccoons in the center of circle fucking. These horny bastards were running a train on this one slutty raccoon right in my backyard.

This is a really stupid question, and obviously I know some really, really brave people (or perhaps just crazy) have done it, but do people really camp out there in Africa? In lion country? In a tent?

I remember watching a program describing animal attacks and these people camped out as you describe. Late in the night a pack of cackling hyenas takes a nab at their head and just drags them off. I think they survived
