The tiger jumping at the man on the elephant was insane!
I don’t get the people that “jump the fence to go up to the cage to get a closer look at the animal only to get mauled through the cage”. Why make a documentary of it? ie Polar bear one. Your just to stupid to have one made of you.
People need to have respect for animals that aren’t/should not be domesticated. Tigers still have that wild animal instinct and could snap at any time. Look at Siegfried and Roy’s tiger attack.
I was reading the other day that there is a zoo that lets you in the cages with tigers and lions to get up close and touch them etc. Again these animals may be tamed and have TONS of human contact but seriously I would be hesitant to go in a cage with one.
I dunno, I thought the dude on the elephant had it covered. i mean he did throw a flimsy stick at her just before slashed at him. Iddathunk that would have taken her out, who knew.

They SAW through turtle shells. SAW. Sharks don’t bite through anything thick, they have razor sharp teeth but their jaws are designed to hold and stabilize (while they move their heads around to achieve said sawing). You can use a hacksaw blade (with case-hardened teeth) to saw though a chunk of iron if you know how to use the damn thing, but you can’t SLICE through it.
Crocs are designed to bite and hold ON while their body contortions rip off whatever comes off easily OR the prey drowns.
Orcas probably cut through, though…
This is important because if you ever get a limb entangled in a croc’s jaws (like hungry creatively demonstrates in his last 6 home videos with chico the soft-spoken bi-curious mexican alligator - subscribers only) your best bet is to HOLD on to the croc’s head with all your limbs and head in contact and pray that the croc runs out of oxygen before you do. At least you won’t lose any limbs.

Well, it didn’t bite it off. Except for a hippopotamus, no animal has the jaw strength to do that even with a skinny human arm. Even a shark SAWS through felsh as it can’t really bite through.
So tigger here swiped at the dude’s face, latched on to the arm and pulled off the arm with its hideously powerful neck muscles.

Actually, a Tiger shark can. They bite through sea turle shells.[/quote]

The way a Tiger shark’s tooth is designed, it cuts and saws at the same time. They showed how various designs of shark teeth and the impact it made on prey, on a Discovery Channel show. The other sharks teeth just punctured the flesh, while the Tiger shark’s teeth cut it cleanly in half.

I guess in the heat of the moment he forgot he was hunting down a cat not a dog. He should take a ball of yarn next time…

It was an obvious mistake but not funny at all.[/quote]
Ken, what would you say to a guy who stuck his hand in an open fire and got 3rd degree burns?
Would you seriously feel THAT bad for him?
IT’S A FUCKING TIGER. THEY KILL LIVING THINGS AND EAT THEM. It’s not like he stuck his hand in a tortoise cage and the fucker flipped out and ripped his arm off… THEN i’d feel sorry for him.[/quote]
I dunno man, snapping turtles are beastly.

So i take it oral favors from a female tiger shark are contraindicated? Shit, thats 337 euros

I’m a zookeeper and i get asked all the time if i can let people into pet the lions and such things.
i had to tackle a woman who had her kid sitting on a wall within reach of a hippo it would have taken the kids legs off
i’ve caught people trying to climb in with several extremely dangerous animals. most large carnivores are not even tame in the first place they’re not hand reared and retain their instincts to attack anything that is a possible threat.
even small seemingly less dangerous animals have the capacity to hurt or kill
Macaws can bite a broom stick in half, they can genrate almost a ton of crushing force in thier bills. eagles and owls have some wickedly sharp talons up to 2 inches long on some species and owls have the fun addition of a reflex reaction where thier feet snap shut on contact with anything that might be prey in order to kill it.
You want to hear stupid? In China a few years ago they had a thing at the zoo where you could take a picture next to a tiger. Apparently a young girl about 5 or 6 was mauled to death.
Tigers are beautiful but obvously unpredictable animals. I don’t care how many other pictures it sat still for, or what kind of tranquilizer you’re giving it, standing near one is incredibly dangerous.

It is a shame that it is a part of your job to save idiots from harm. In my kind of world these people should be allowed to be eaten. It would result in less morons and you probably wouldn’t have to spend so much on animal feed.

Sadly its in the animals best interests they dont eat people, they can carry all sorts of diseases and generally have things like watches and jewlery which can cause serious problems. other wise i’d probably look the other way
personally i think people that: bang on windows, try to feed animals and throw random items into enclosures should be shot

I once posted a similar mauling vid on another lifting forum. I sided with the big cat, and in no time it seemed like everyone on the forum attacked ME for not taking the man’s side.
I guess most of the posters on that forum were amputees or some shit.

Or all Indian lol.
On spike they had a Manswer episode where they showed how to defend yourself from a tiger and I think they were 1)Bite/hit its nose 2) If you get your arm in the mouth go far enough to get a gag reflex 3) I forget!
