Don't you hate it when you're having a picnic and a man-eating tiger shows up? I'm glad he didn't have a tower and a rifle- this tiger was trying to wipe out as many people as possible.
Five Picnickers Killed By Royal Bengal Tiger
Five people ranging in age from 22 to 40 have been killed by a Royal Bengal Tiger while picnicking south of Kathmandu, Nepal.
"Five picnickers were killed yesterday after being attacked by a man-eating tiger believed to have been on the prowl for humans in the Chitwan district for the past couple of months," an official said.
One man managed to survive by climbing a tree. "Even while I was up in the tree, the tiger waited for a couple of hours lying beneath the tree," a police report quoted Rajendra Nyeupane, the surviving man.
The tiger's suspected of having killed eight other people as well.
