Tiger Attacks
Tigers generally stay away from people. However, a tiger will attack a person if it is afraid that person will hurt its cubs. Some tigers even hurt people for food. These tigers are called man-eaters. Tigers often become man-eaters because they are too old or sick to catch other prey.
Some people who live near man-eating tigers wear masks on the backs of their heads. This fools the tigers, who attack their prey from behind.
