Tiger snatches man off boat

A Bengal tiger snatched a man off a fishing boat in eastern India, dragging him into a mangrove swamp as his children looked on.

The attack happened as Sushil Manjhi and his son and daughter were crab fishing in a stream in the Sunderbans National Park. The tiger leapt aboard the boat and clamped its jaws on Manjhi’s neck, said Sushil’s son, Jyotish. The tiger “quickly flung my father on his back and gave a giant leap before disappearing into the forest”.
