    in the Ganges Delta in India, where tigers living under protection in a reserve had been killing about 60 people a year.

    Geez that’s a lot.

      I mean, deer kill about 400 people a year in the US and they aren’t even trying. 280 million people live in the Delta alongside a predator that is actually trying to kill them, so it mkaes sense.

        I’ve read somewhere that tigers usually aren’t trying to kill people, humans are not their natural prey and they normally ignore them. The ones that do kill people seem to have a bad experience with humans, like being shot at. Fuck humans.

      I’ve seen people get out of vehicles to try to take selfies with grizzly bear cubs. I could kinda see black bears but like wtf. But yeah you get slapped once by either and you’re pretty much dead if you aren’t within 10 minutes to a hospital.
