Although tigers are fierce, they are still "not surround the river" with humans living in cities or colonies. However, there have been very horrific "human-eating tigers" in history. They not only attack humans, but also can even roam between different countries. In an instant, more than 400 casualties were killed and injured, and people were panicked for a while.

Moreover, based on the action patterns of these "man-eating" tigers, it can be seen that they are not out of accidental predation, but are "slaughter" against humans. Why does this happen?

It was not until after killing a man-eating tiger that humans discovered the truth behind it.

What is the reason why the tiger suddenly turned to attack humans?

tiger is recognized by everyone as the king of and jungle beast. Any animal that meets it head-on will be afraid of it. The key point here at the beginning is the Champavat man-eating tiger who has eaten 436 people and the Zhoujia tiger who has eaten 64 people. From them, you can see how terrible the tiger who has eaten 64 people is.

At the beginning of the last century, someone in a village in Nepal reported that a villager was mysteriously missing, which scared everyone. Through footprints and man-made investigations, the villagers came to a consensus conclusion: maybe the tiger went down the mountain to eat people.

Not only that, this tiger is also a night owl, which comes to the village to attack people in the middle of the night after everyone sleeps. After this conclusion came to the conclusion, the village suddenly shrouded in a panic atmosphere, which made people panic. If you can't eat well, you should also be particularly wary of tiger attacks at night.

The village chief told everyone not to go out at night and to keep the doors and windows tight. After just a few days, the man-eating tiger did not make any noise. When everyone began to relax their vigilance, the man-eating tiger changed its strategy and began to act during the day, and many villagers were persecuted.

So, what exactly causes tigers to eat people? I'm afraid that only Kobet, who has been fighting the longest time with the man-eating tiger, knows the detailed situation.

, and Kobet personally believes that the human-eating tiger is actually forced by the environment and does something that is unconventional when it is necessary. In other words, when the tiger's hunting ability decreases, the chance of turning into a human-eating tiger will increase.

For example, the more famous Champavat man-eating tiger. According to detailed data, the female tiger killed hundreds of people in Nepal, and later ran to India to kill people. Therefore, this man-cannibal tiger that committed a transnational crime was also surrounded by various countries and was eventually shot and killed by Kobet.

However, there is another problem that Kobet cannot explain is that there is indeed a few tigers who naturally become human-eating tigers when they are completely healthy.

For example, the "Munda Chipalan Man-Eating Tiger" shot by naturalist Anderson, from the subsequent test, was completely a completely healthy adult male tiger. It has no obstacles to obtaining natural prey, but it still chose to eat people. In Nepal, the country, from the first recorded human-eating tiger to today, human-eating tiger has not been completely eliminated, and there are still sporadic existences.

According to scientists' investigations and research, what we know now is that social pressure within tiger populations will also give birth to human-eating tigers. Tigers are very territorial. Each tiger has a unique territory. If competition in the territory fails, it will be expelled from this area. There will be no humanization issue such as injury. It can only be carried out on the edge of the area.

Therefore, tigers such as that failed competition have begun to be forced to switch to eating livestock, and there are also more and more places where people deal with , and there are inevitably some conflicts between the two sides. Over time, the originally normal tiger may also become a human-eating tiger.

However, as the current trend continues, social pressure and natural selection will lead to more and more tigers being able to eat people.And the current protection strategy for tigers is limited to wild reserves or zoos, and is in an extremely closed situation, which also makes tigers without a territory able to live in interpersonal marginal areas, and also increases the possibility of human-eating tiger development, which is even more unfavorable to us.

In addition to the accidental human-eating tiger, it also includes the human-eating tiger that naturally forms in the region - Sundelbens human-eating tiger.

The first point is the natural environment. Sundalbans' living environment is in the wet mangrove swamp, and there are often sea water that rises from time to time, constantly eroding the tiger's residence. Every time the sea water rises, the traces of the tiger's territory disappear without a trace. The disappearance of the territory again and again also makes the tiger's sense of uneasiness reach the extreme, which also increases the aggression of the tiger's guarding the territory by several times.

Another crucial point is foraging. Local food has always been in short supply. There is no animal species that tigers hunt the longest, and white-spotted deer is their only staple food that can be eaten. In this case, humans once became an important supplement to tiger recipes. Some people estimate that in the past when human-eating tigers were rampant, humans accounted for about 3% of local tiger recipes, and each tiger killed one person a year on average.

Nowadays, there are a large number of poor people living around Sundalbans. Every year, more than 100,000 people have to enter the forest to catch fish, honey and other operations in order to make a living. In this way, local tigers regard humans as their main prey.

But there is another reason for the human-eating tiger, which is the frequent contact between people and tigers.

The population that has not been hunted has a lack of fear of humans, once you become familiar with humans, the consequences will be even more terrible. The last step in the formation of cannibal culture is the education of the young tigers by cannibalizing female tigers. If a male tiger becomes a human-eating tiger, then it only needs to be solved by one individual. But female tigers are different. They usually choose to evolve into the next generation of pups through gene selection, passed on from generation to generation, and eventually form a cannibal culture throughout the population. How to prevent and control the emergence of "human-eating tiger" from the root?

How terrible is a tiger that has eaten humans? The legendary hunter Kobet still feels scared when he thinks about it, which means he has endless troubles. Corbitt said that environmental changes are one of the main reasons why animals become human-eating animals. In order to survive, tigers can only choose this way to survive.

In this case, injury and old age are also extremely likely to cause tigers to transform into human-eating tigers. These two situations can easily lead to tigers deviating from their normal life trajectory and have to feed on people. Because if a tiger has injuries, it will greatly hinder its normal prey and feed.

At this moment, humans appeared in their sight, and after weighing the trade-offs, the tiger believed that humans were relatively weak, so they began to capture humans and attack.

Once this starts, the human-eating tiger will frequently hunt and kill people for various reasons, and will start to be out of control, and will cause endless troubles.

Therefore, to completely get the problem of human-tiger tigers, the most important thing is to isolate human-tiger tigers. People should be in a place where people stay, and tigers should be in a place where tigers stay. Humans should not go to the reserve to hunt, gather and grazing, and tigers that frequently appear around the village must be closely monitored and captured in the zoo if necessary.

hunting tigers is not the optimal solution, but it plays an artificial choice for tigers. Tigers that fear humans in gene expression and avoid human odor are more survival rate and are more likely to leave offspring. In this way, most of the living tigers will carry genes that avoid humans over time.

This is like people who are born to fear snakes and spiders under natural selection, and they do not need teaching. They carry the corresponding fear gene, and those who do not carry die quickly and have few offspring. And the efficiency of manual selection is much higher than that of natural selection, and it only takes a few generations to make most tigers hide from humans.

Unfortunately, many reserves are really helpless now and face important economic difficulties, so many people still take risks into the forest in order to survive.

For example, the people in Sundalbans know that there are dangerous human-cannibal tigers in the forest, but they still have to go in for their livelihood. The simple local people do not even resent the tiger. They say that it is precisely because of the existence of the tiger that they have saved the forest on which they depend for survival. Secondly, we must correctly relieve the social pressure of tigers. Expand the area of ​​the protected area, or establish an ecological corridor , so that tigers without territory in the "tiger-filled" protected area can go out, and directly intervene manually if necessary, transfer these "unstable elements" to the tiger-free protected area to prevent excessive social pressure from producing human-eating tigers.

Sun Delbans's man-eating tiger problem cannot be cured at present, and the local government can only teach the people some tips to prevent tigers and improve survival rate. Tigers like to attack people from behind and need to wear special masks to bring certain deterrence effects. Including that tigers like to bite people on the back of their necks, the staff in the reserve also wore special protective clothing for the back of their necks. Judging from the oral narratives of some survivors, you should be calm when attacked by tigers. If you try not to bite the tiger on the neck and don’t let the tiger drag itself away, the chance of survival will be relatively high.

OK, the story of the human tiger today ends here. I believe that with the development of the economy and society, tigers will be better protected, and at the same time, the livelihood problems of the poor can also be solved.
