bryan330i, that is a very interesting thought about that protection instinct. indeed it makes kind of sense. only thing i do not understand is why the tiger hit him? he did, didn't he? that was at least what i read about it.
Yes, I think there is more to it. I am not sure how it all happened. But from what I am getting, if it had made a violent attempt to do harm, he would without question be dead. Who knows, could have started as a “play thing” on the part of the tiger. They do “play” rough enough to kill a humanfrom what they are saying. But when they want to kill, they sure know how I would think.
