A story of tiger attack
These tigers are a little smaller and slimmer than those
elsewhere in India
but remain extremely powerful and are infamous for destroying small wooden
boats. They are not the only tigers who live close to humans; in Bandhavgarh,
villages encircle the tiger reserves, and yet attacks on people are rare.
Although attacks were stalled temporarily in 2004 with new precautions,
recently attacks have been on the rise. This is particularly due to the
devastation on the Bangladeshi side of the swamp caused by Cyclone Sidr which
has deprived tigers of traditional food sources (due to the natural upheaval)
and has pushed them over towards the more populated Indian side of the swamp
