Reminds me of the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989! Recall that tank?

EXTRAORDINARY: Leopard attacking man in Kerala, India.
These are government agents called for 'pest control' as leopard has been found living on someone's home.
As you see rangers wear bike helmets and steel plated armor to counter balance a potential attack of large cats in India.
This is a camera surprised moment before rangers decided to shoot the animal mauling their coleague.
Rangers have very modest equipment, training and wages in India.

One out of three have not got a helmet - and he gets that big cat on his back
poor guy!

A tiger attacked forest rangers in Kaziranga National Park while trying to tranquilize the animal, in the north-east of India, in 2004.
The tiger jumped on the elephant and mauled the 'mahout' (elephant driver)

This is one of the most incredible videos demonstrating the shear power of a cat I have ever seen.
Lightning in a bottle...
 
this canine was picked up and alleged to be that of a tiger

can anyone confirm or deny that this tooth is a specimen of a tiger?
[look at that thick and strong root!]

brickburn,i agree..

And that boys and girls is why they invented the howdah pistol.
(a howdah is that thing you ride in on back of an elephant)
A howdah pistol is to scrape tigers off your elephant.
