A person has very little chance of staying alive after meeting a tiger. It is impossible to escape from this beast, therefore it is better to avoid meeting with it by all means.
The tiger is an incredibly strong, fast-moving and agile feline. He is able to knock down a wild bull with one blow of his paw, and his jaws are so strong that they can gnaw through the throat of almost any prey. The tiger's habitat is Southeast Asia and the Russian Far East.
In length, a tiger can reach almost 3 m, not counting the tail, and its weight sometimes reaches 320 kg. The predator has two fangs in each jaw, with which it kills prey. Their length is 8 cm.
How to avoid encountering a striped predator
The best way to escape the tiger is not to meet with it. Walking through the taiga or jungle, carefully study the footprints of animals. Even an old tiger paw print suggests that you've wandered into big cat territory. Fresh footprints ensure that the tiger is somewhere close and may already be watching you with interest. The tiger's footprint is very characteristic, it is similar to that of a cat, but much larger. The diameter of a paw print can be up to twenty centimeters. There may be other marks on the trail, such as droppings. You can avoid a meeting by making noise, launching flares, shooting in the air or knocking on iron.
In no case do not approach the tiger at a distance of less than 100 m, and if it is a tigress with cubs, it is better to go around them a kilometer away. Meeting a tiger is deadly. Do not go to the taiga or jungle alone, especially with dogs. Tigers, for some reason, do not like them very much and always try to destroy them.
The tiger prefers to attack by jumping on top of the victim or sneaking up from the back. When attacking, he tries to bite his teeth into his head or twist his neck. The striped predator is a master at moving silently, he has excellent eyesight and sensitive hearing. Meeting a man with a tiger in most cases is unexpected for the first, and not for the predator. Therefore, if you see a tiger, then he most likely knows about your presence and will not attack. At the time of such a meeting, it is important to remain calm. You cannot turn your back on the beast, look into its eyes or run away. Step back slowly while talking loudly to the predator.
How to survive a tiger attack
Unfortunately, humans have very little chance of surviving the attack of this huge cat. Since the tiger loves to attack from behind and to bring down the victim in a rapid jump, you will not have the opportunity to use the weapon. In most cases, when attacked by a tiger, a person dies almost immediately from their injuries. If the predator attacks, you can try to pretend to be dead, if it doesn't help and the tiger continues to attack, you need to fight, protecting the head and neck with your hands. The tiger can be seriously injured with a large knife, with a blade of at least 20 cm, hitting the chest or under the shoulder blade.
