Tiger leaps onto boat, drags man in front of children!

New Delhi: In a horrifying incident, a royal Bengal tiger snatched a man off his fishing boat while he was crab fishing with his young children in the Sunderbans National Reserve. The attack happened on Thursday as Sushi Manjhi was fishing with his daughter and son when the tiger leapt aboard the boat and clamped its jaws on Manjhi’s neck. His son, Jyotish said the tiger flung his father on his back and disappeared into the forest. Daily Mail reported that Jyotish and his siter tried to beat the animal with sticks and a knife, but it had no effect on the beast. Their father was dragged away and presumed dead. “My father was completely buried under the tiger,” said Jyotish, recounting the horror. The national park, one of the largest reserves for the Royal Bengal tigers, has had a few such deadly assaults in the last one year. This one is the fourth such assault, according to wildlife officials. Although the tigers have hit dwindling numbers, half of the world’s 3,200 tigers are believed to be in the Indian wilderness.
