A horrible thing happened in India: a tiger hurts!

Here's what happened, when 25-year-old Alcana took his 1-year-old son for a walk around his home that day, and he didn't think that a tiger suddenly came out and snatched the 1-year-old child, and the fangs were already deeply inserted in the child's head.

Seeing her son being transferred away by the tiger, the impatient mother could not bear to be unarmed, went up to fight the tiger with her bare hands, and successfully saved her child from the tiger's mouth, but she was seriously injured, in addition to the lungs were pierced, the abdomen, back and other body scratches and bite marks, fortunately her son had nothing to do.

India is one of the habitats of tigers, inhabited by indochina and Bengal tigers.

Like many tigers, wild tigers are actually very afraid of humans, and when they hear human movements, they will actively avoid them. For example, the Siberian tiger "Wandashan No. 1" who mistakenly entered the village and lay in an abandoned house, ready to wait until night to quietly leave, only to be discovered by humans, and the noisy sound caused it to have a stress response, and finally hurt people and shoot the glass of the car.

Since the tiger is very afraid of people, why does this indian tiger hurt people?

Why do tigers hurt people?

In fact, tiger wounding is not the first time it has appeared in India.

In 2014, a farmer in India was bitten to death in a sugar cane field by a tiger, and local residents said she was standing with her sister when suddenly a tiger bit her neck and dragged her into the sugar cane field.

Against the backdrop of a period of time when people were bitten or even killed by tigers, and angry people wanted to find the tiger and kill it, Belinda White, director general of the Wildlife Conservation Society of India, came here and found that the tiger was a female tiger with intact teeth, but one of its paws fell unevenly, meaning it was injured.

At first it was just attacking people, but after attacking people 3-4 times, the nature changed, and it seemed to realize that "it is easy to bite people to death, and human flesh can also be eaten".

For tigers that hurt people and eat people, experts say that "man-eating tigers" must be killed, because instead of fearing humans, they use humans as food, and this tiger is very dangerous and may attack more people in the future.

It is worth noting that the man-eating tiger was also afraid of people at the beginning, but the tiger, like people, some are more shy, their whereabouts are hidden, and they will take the initiative to stay away from humans; Some are impulsive, if the habitat of the human tiger is highly overlapping, they may be harmed by prey, territory, or mistaking it for prey, and after many injuries, they may transform into "man-eating tigers", which is also the most dangerous tiger.

But don't worry, not all tigers can evolve into "man-eating tigers", and there are three main possible reasons for injuring tigers.

  • Food decreased

There are many reasons why tigers hurt people, the most important of which is food conflicts. There are about 3,000 tigers in India, and tigers belong to the top predators, their survival is inseparable from sika deer, wild boar and other herbivores, one of the tigers needs 500 deer to meet its natural survival needs in the wild, the reduction of local herbivores, will also affect the survival of tigers.

However, the study found that the number of wildlife in India is decreasing, with only more than 30,000 deer in the San Durban Reserve, which can only meet the survival of 60-65 tigers.

The extra tigers either died of starvation and land grabs, or ventured into the vicinity of humans to hunt livestock. When tigers approach humans, they will clash with people, causing tigers to hurt people.

Why does tigers eat less?

This is actually related to humans, on the one hand, there is still poaching and poaching in India, resulting in a decline in the number of wild animals such as sika deer, on the other hand, India's population is increasing, the urbanization process is also accelerating, and humans are constantly eroding the habitat of tigers in the process of urban expansion, occupying the homeland that originally belonged to tigers, resulting in human-tiger conflicts.

  • There are problems with the health of tigers

Adult healthy tigers can live well in the wild, for example: our Siberian tiger "Wandashan No. 1", living in the wild environment for 3-4 years, of which the last year or so, its whereabouts have been in our hands. The staff found that the Wandashan No. 1 had been able to successfully hunt a 300-kilogram large wild boar, and after eating it for many days, some of the remaining wreckage was discarded.

The Siberian tiger "Tiger Baby", which lives in the Huangnihe River Conservation Area in Jilin Province, also lives very well, and even a wild boar hunted and kills has just eaten a few bites and does not eat.

But as tigers get older or have physical problems, they will struggle to survive in the wild, potentially threatening humans.

For example, in 2019, two military dogs in the Taigalin district of russia's Ussuriysk border were taken away by a tiger, and after inspection, it was found that the tiger's hind legs were somewhat lame, causing it to no longer hunt ungulates, but unusually wandered at border posts and broke through several fences to attack military dogs.

Because its actions have threatened humans, it is captured locally. The staff said that its abnormal behavior may be due to injuries or it may be because it is older.

  • With baby mother beast

No matter what kind of animal it is, but all the female beasts with babies will become extremely fierce, see the female beasts with babies, do not hesitate, must stay away in time.

The Indian tiger attacked human babies, on the one hand, it may be that the local tiger food has been sharply reduced, resulting in them having to actively approach humans; On the other hand, there may be a problem with the tiger's health.

In any case, once a tiger becomes a "man-eating tiger", it can only be eliminated or imprisoned, and cannot be released.

Why protect tigers?

Although tigers have the ability to hurt people, under normal circumstances, tigers are more afraid of people, and they generally take the initiative to stay away from humans. For example, the Siberian tiger "Wandashan No. 1" was released into the wild for more than a year, and according to its tracks, it was found that it has been hiding from villages, walking in towns, and the threat to people is very small.

Moreover, tigers are at the top of the local food chain, and without tigers, the physical fitness of herbivores will also decline. For example, our Paracel Islands "East Island" has a herd of bison, these bison were moved to the island by people from the mainland more than 300 years ago, because there is no natural enemy, these bison live very comfortably, but when they are found more than 300 years later, they see that these bison are thin and weak and have extremely poor physical fitness.

Tigers can also restrain the number of local herbivores, and now wild boars are flooded in many places because of the lack of natural enemies such as jackals, wolves, tigers and leopards, resulting in disorderly reproduction of herbivores.

Tigers are also able to feed scavengers, which can eat highly spoiled meat and reduce the incidence of epidemic diseases, but without jackals, tigers and leopards, the number of scavengers in the forest becomes smaller; The presence of tigers means that they can provide a lot of energy for scavengers, allowing them to survive in the forest.

In fact, we hunted tigers as pests in the last century, and found that there are no tigers, and other wild animals do not live well. Protecting tigers is protecting the entire tiger ecological chain, so that local animals can continue to operate sustainably.
