Tiger Grabed Man off Boat & Leapt back with Man in its Jaws into Jungle

As per a report:

The danger of venturing into the prohibited areas of Sunderbans was revealed again on Thursday morning when a tiger jumped from the bank of a creek and leapt back with a man in its jaws. This is the fourth time that a human was killed by a tiger in the Sunderbans this year. The victim, 62-year-old Sushil Majhi, lived in Lahiripur near Datta river, less than kilometre from a creek that runs deep into the forest. Along with his son Jyotish, 40, and adopted daughter Molina, Majhi would often row up the creek to catch crabs. On Thursday, at the crack of dawn, the three set out on a boat to the forests of Kholakhali, an area where fishing is banned. Jyotish sat in front of the boat, Sushil in the middle and Molina at the tai. That is how they balanced the vessel while pulling in the net.

"Shortly after we reached the spot, around 7am, we got a whiff of a strange odour. We immediately decided to turn back to a safer zone," Jyotish told TOI. They were paddling towards a less dense area when a tiger that had been stalking them struck like lightning. "Suddenly, my sister cried out: 'Dada, bagh (tiger)'. I was stunned, and my body froze. All I saw a flash of yellow. It took me a moment to register the gruesome sight before me. My father was completely buried under the beast. I could only see his legs thrashing about. I shook off my numbness and grabbed a stick. Molina, too, took out a long cutter we use to clear foliage in the jungle.

Together, we poked and battered the tiger, but it refused to give up," he said. Despite being attacked, the tiger concentrated on its kill and once it got a good grip, it held Majhi by his neck and jerked the body in a way that it landed on its back, said Jyotish. "It jumped off and landed on the bank in one giant leap. We saw it disappear into the jungle with my father still in its jaws," he added, shaking from the ordeal. Jyotish and Molina raised the alarm and some fishermen paddled furiously in their direction.

"But they didn't dare chase the tiger into the deep woods. Molina was so traumatized that she lost consciousness. I didn't take any further risk and returned with her as quickly as possible," said Jyotish. Majhi's body is unlikely to be recovered, as countless other human victims before him. Sunderbans Tiger Reserve field director Soumitra Dasgupta said there were reports of a tiger attacking a fisherman on Thursday morning. "Fishing is banned in the forests where the incident took place," he said.

Student Goes into Tiger's Place in Zoo, Takes off Shirt and Dances

As per a report:

In a Bizarre incident, an engineering student jumped into a tiger enclosure at the Gwalior zoo, took off his shirt and danced in front of a pair of big cats but managed to come out unscathed in the Madhya Pradesh city. See Pictures & Video of the incident above. The incident took place in front of a large number of stunned visitors at the zoo in Gwalior, about 430 km north of Bhopal. 

The youth, identified as Yashonandan Kaushik, 23, is a third-year student of electronics and communications at a private college in Indore. His father Ashok Kaushik told police that his son "hadn't slept for four nights and probably this took a toll on him". Police said the youth scaled the 20-feet wall to jump into the enclosure which had two tigers. He then proceeded to take off his shirt and dance in front of the tigers, Lav and Kush. 

Kaushik even went to a small pond meant for tigers in the enclosure and washed his face and hands. Luckily for Kaushik, the tigers did not attack him. When the visitors raised a hue and cry, zoo security personnel rushed to the enclosure. The nearby Inderganj police were also informed. Kaushik continued his antics for almost half-an-hour before zoo staff entered the enclosure and escorted him out safely.

China Bored with life Man tries to become Tiger Food in Zoo

As per a report:

A man in China survived an unsuccessful attempt to feed himself to a pair of Bengal tigers and is being treated for depression, a Chinese newspaper reported Tuesday. According to the Chengdu Business Daily, Yang Jinhai, 27, climbed a tree and jumped into the tigers' enclosure on Sunday at the Chengdu Zoo in southwest China's Sichuan province. 

As stunned visitors watched, Yang -- who is unemployed and suffers from mental health issues, according to his brother -- "performed exaggerated movements" as he spent 20 minutes trying to tempt the tigers to eat him. "I asked them to bite me and let them eat my meat, and so I did not fight back," Yang told the paper. 

But while he was scratched and dragged by the back of his neck, the tigers declined to make a meal of him. Zoo staff tranquilised the animals so that they could rescue Yang, who sustained "16 minor wounds", the report said.
