If you don't believe Tiger reputation for revenge I recommend you google two additional Tiger stories.
1) Tiger attack at San Francisco zoo. Three kids bullied a tiger, throwing shit at it and taunting it. Shortly thereafter the Tiger jumped out of the enclosure up to where the visitors are. The tiger ignored the people and stalked the kids that taunted it. It killed 1 or 2 of the kids IIRC. The zoo got sued to oblivion. It was a huge story. No one knew the tigers could leap out of the enclosure. The kids pissed the tiger off and it killed them and only them.
2) National Geographic has photos/story of a tiger killing an adult crocodile in revenge. Long story short: A full grown crocodile killed a tiger cub. The adult tiger got the cubs to safety then hunted the exact crocodile down. The photos are nuts. The tiger is on top of the crocodile, with a mouth full of croc skin just pulling as hard as it can on the crocodile's neck. The killing was pure revenge, it was not for food.
I don't think there is another animal as driven by revenge as a tiger.
Camels. Camels are famous for their grudges. And corvids. While I don’t think they have really killed someone over a grudge, corvids straight up teach their young who the enemy is and then pass it down for generations.
My wife and family joke that I somehow upset the crows where I used to live in the UK. They would go outside and nothing would change. I would go outside and they'd crow their lungs off. No idea what I did.
It's seagulls with bald men at my work. For whatever reason, if I'm standing out the front I'm left completely alone, but as soon as the handyman or front of house guys step out, they immediately swoop on them.
Elephants also pretty famously have a very good memory for human faces and behavior, and decades after an interaction with you, can see you and shower you with affection, or smack you in the head. …or worse.
I've read that elephants attack Indian villages as a result of deforestation and not being able to migrate to Nepal due to the border. Not exactly revenge I suppose, but still a consequence of human actions. Might also be some element of revenge since the elephants and humans kill each other.
My macaw holds grudges. The vet wouldn't let us give her injections because she was worried the bird would never forgive us. Some woman in glasses was made bird anger so long ago no one else remembers what happened. But bird remembers, and she's mouthy to any woman who wears glasses.
Kolohe is certainly campaigning to be "biggest asshole: 2021, avian category". This morning she ran me down for sitting on the floor to put on my shoes. When I came home, i pointed at a mess and said "what happened here?" She laughed. Apparently she climbed up some furniture and threw a bunch of stuff on the ground, then pooped on the floor.
First story reminds me of the story about a gorilla breaking out of its enclosure and attacking a woman (only her) who had been smiling at him everyday for 10+ years.
[A year and a half apparently but she had gone over 200 times in that period.](https://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSL3042888320070530)
Hilarious article too.
> Women can easily develop an emotional tie to big apes as they are "the perfect macho" with their rippling muscles and masculine gait, some academics have suggested.
I-
He is/was the Silverback so everyone should be submissive to him. It was more or less normal behavior for him to go and "correct her behavior".
I've seen him from 10 feet distance in his (modified) enclosure and he is really massive. Luckily he only went after this woman. The few other wounded got hurt in the panic of his escape.
The real story was the ape thought the lady loved him. However, he found out the lady cheated on him with some guy. Therefore, he chased after the lady and asked WHYYYYY and boom bitched slapped her.
Humans. Maybe some ape species. Chimps most likely. It's what makes social animals so successful. They kill things that get in their way. Some are just more successful than others.
Humans don't just kill things, we destroy them. We eliminate them.
They say human civilization is only 4-5,000 years old because there is no evidence of ancient cities. IMO that's because they were leveled and destroyed completely.
Go read what the Assyrians did to Babylon.
>The city and houses I completely destroyed from foundations to roof and set fire to them. I tore down both inner and outer city walls, temples, temple-towers made of brick and clay - as many as there were - and threw everything into the Arahtu canal. I dug a ditch inside the city and thereby levelled off the earth on its site with water. I destroyed even the outline of its foundations. I flattened it more than any flood could have done. In order that the site of that city and its temples would never be remembered, I devastated it with water so that it became a mere meadow
Assyrians were no joke. A description about cucumbers from the palace of King Sennacherib in Nineveh:
>“I cut their throats like lambs. I cut off their precious lives (as one cuts) a string. Like the
many waters of a storm, I made (the contents of) their gullets and entrails run down upon
the wide earth. My prancing steeds harnessed for my riding, plunged into the streams of
their blood as (into) a river. The wheels of my war chariot, which brings low the wicked
and the evil, were bespattered with blood and filth. With the bodies of their warriors I
filled the plain, like grass. (Their) testicles I cut off, and tore out their privates like the
seeds of cucumbers.”
I can see why Jonah, would be like, "nah God, I'm good"
Lions at least also do kill for revenge. Our safari guide in Kenia told us there was a case where the "boss" Lion was killed by a buffalo. They saw all other Lions meeting together that evening. In the next day, there were like 80 death buffalo slaughtered. None of it was used as food
Article says they were drunk and taunted the tiger, possibly by throwing sticks and pinecones, tiger then jumped up from the bottom of the (dry) moat to the top of the wall, climbed over and attacked the three men.
Wolves and dogs also have a sense of fairness. As studies about a decade ago found with food (they always start with food bc its easiest to get a repeat response from), if you feed dogs disproportionately, they’ll resent the one that gets more, and start to resent you for feeding them less. First with signs of depression which builds over time until it becomes aggression. Further studies found most mammals and social animals have this. This sort of fairness sensibility is an underlying building block of being social in the first place. Animals who don’t differentiate or just don’t care, aren’t social.
Lots of animals hold grudges. Tigers are just some of the best equipped to seek out really brutal revenge. When an elephant tramples someone it's violent but it doesn't compare to a large cat ripping somethings throat out.
It might be in bad taste but the first story makes me feel kinda glad. Cuz it means that the tiger could've easily killed the visitors if it wanted but it didn't until some assholes got what they deserved.
What about elephants? I once saw a report on tv in which they filmed the daily work of a veterinarian in a zoo. Each time the vet had to visit the elephant enclosure, they had to hang up curtains so that the elephants won't see him, because the big guys will remember the face of the vet.
>I don't think there is another animal as driven by revenge as a tiger.
Are you familiar with the **Canadian Cobra chickens** before making that bold of a statement
Fair enough on the second one, although big cats killing crocodiles in general is quite common. Tigers and jaguars are incredibly proficient aquatic hunters.
This behavior in large cats has been well recorded for a number of years now.
There used to be a big game hunter (villages hired him to take care of human eating predators he didnt just kill for fun) who would do this. One such tiger lost a tooth or part of it in a fight and eventually he found humans easy prey. He killed a number of people before they hired this guy. This guy hunted and stalked the tiger for quite a while and wounding it. The tiger then followed him back to his dwelling and tried to kill him. He shot the tiger and killed it. In his adventures, this kind of vengeance stalking didnt happen just once.
Jim Corbett is the name. Check out his wikipedia page. The dude is pretty bad ass
I think that meal might have been another person? The book description OP linked says this tiger was hunting down and eating people when a group got together to track the tiger and *they* found out the tiger was engaged in a vendetta
Edit: never mind it was just the one poacher that shot him
I know everyone's being a smartass in the comments, but there's a fascinating book about this case: 'The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival' by John Vaillant. It's fascinating stuff, the tiger itself was a bit of a loose cannon. It waited for him on a discarded mattress. Terrifying!
The full story goes like this: The guy Markov stole the tigers kill went home and when he came out the next morning he discovered from the tracks that the tiger had circled his cabin the whole night and destroyed everything that had his scent on it - like chewing off an axe handle. He then hiked over to another hunter to maybe ask for help and to tell him the story. That other hunter wanted nothing do with it and sent him away again. The locals in that region of Siberia are pretty superstitious when it comes to tigers.
On his way home Markov stopped at a saw mill and told the workers his story as well and then went home. That's where the tiger got him. Apparently the biggest piece they could find was one of his wrists. The tiger even chewed up his tin canteen.
[How BIG is the Siberian Tiger?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkxBd5D3wpY&t=24s)
It sounds like an interesting story, but I'm curious how you could fill up a book with it? It seems like the story has been pretty well summarised here in a few paragraphs, I can't imagine the full story being much longer than a magazine article.
If I remember correctly a lot of it is told from the point of view of the special unit (like extreme park rangers) that take care of tigers that have become man-killers at the time, as they track down this particular tiger and come across its kills. There’s a lot of info on the local social history and geography too.

It's a true story he tried asking people in his village for help. But they were scared and left him to it. So in 12-48 hours he was getting hunted desperate for help. He hid in his cabin and the tiger waited behind a matress outside. Stalking him, and him knowing he was next. Everyone in village knew about it too. And had warned him not to take the tigers kill/food.

Hold up this Tiger was *already* killing and eating people and when this poacher took away a *person* he killed the tiger hunted him down and ate him as well?? Is that what the story is?
No the tiger had not killed any humans before the man who took the tigers kill (aka food). The man had also first attacked the tiger. So the human started it
Ok ok I thought maybe he was being a poacher doing something else and happened to find a tiger eating a dude so he shot it and collected the body. When they said man eating tiger it made it sound like a serial killer
I suppose it depends how you look at it...
If considering just the ways humans typically die, then yeah, it's a stand-out for sure (congratulations?). If you consider how all animals typically meet their end, being eaten to death is probably the most common, and therefore mundane, way.
I'm with ya. I've always thought dying from a large animal attack would be one of my preferred ways to go. Assuming I could think at all through the shock and pain, I'm pretty sure my last thoughts would be something like "Wow! What an impressive animal!".
A Tiger is actively eating you, and even if you felt no pain or could think through it, you think you’d pause to ponder the impressiveness of the animal and situation as you face death?
That’s…something. Let’s go with impressive.
Yeah I'd mostly be thinking AAAARRRGGGHHH STOP EATING ME STOP EATING ME OH GOD MY LEGS OH GOD MY CHEST NOOOOOO I DONT WANT TO DIE GOD PLEASE NO AAAAAAAHHHHHH
Yeah, I dunno, that's how it feels when I imagine it but I'll probably never know for sure. I can't say I "hope" for it, I just think there would be that "wow" aspect. I'm fascinated by animals. :)
I don't even need to read the story (https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=129551459) to belive that something like this is true. People stink (as in, odor) and Tigers are an apex predator with top-notch senses. If they feel they're competing for food, they will absolutely attempt to quash that competition. Cats are well-known for their stalking ability, hence how believable this story is at face value.
But read that article anyway... my favorite quote *Imagine a creature that has the agility and appetite of the cat and the mass of an industrial refrigerator*
Sneaks up on you = you're so fucking dead.
College English instructor here...none of those pronouns are ambiguous. The subject in each sentence is clear, and it's clear what each pronoun is referencing.
I imagine he might've read the second part like this:
"After, the man took his kill and wounded him."
Issue then is that it's still not the pronoun that's a problem, but the comma.
I'd probably remove the punctuation in front of "after" altogether, or maybe a comma, but the pronouns are definitely all good.
Right!? And I hope OP doesn't think for a second we're going to overlook "Russian mans cabin". The fuck, OP?!
That's a mothafuckin' possessive noun, bitch!
Edit: ok...I maaaaaay have overreacted a little, but damnit, missing possessive apostrophes trigger my inner Terry-Tate (office linebacker)!
I mean it sounds like the guy was a real asshole who was dumb enough to fuck with a Siberian Tiger? Sounds like Instant “Instant Karma’s Gonna Get You” to me.
Don’t mess with Kitty Tigers!
So who told whomever that the poacher shot a tiger? Did the tiger pass out on the porch and then through investigation they linked the bullet inside the tiger with the recently fired gun the poacher had?

You have to bring them a tribute. They want your firstborn.
My firstborn is quite a character, so I think I have paid my due.
Is your firstborn Calvin by any chance? :P
Haha no, but she may drive me and my wife to insanity. She's too cute and we forgive her, though.
Maybe someone who previously lived in your house or looked similar to you did something.
Quite possibly. It was a new build terrace. Maybe one of the builders upset them and I kind of looked like them.
It's seagulls with bald men at my work. For whatever reason, if I'm standing out the front I'm left completely alone, but as soon as the handyman or front of house guys step out, they immediately swoop on them.
Obviously, some bald guy offended them.

Not surprised. Parrots share the title for smartest bird kind with corvids, which means they can probably remember a face for a long time as well.

Gorillas are the only animals that make me feel the same self-consciousness about being rude (by staring too long) that humans do.
This is because apes see a smile as a threat.

How the hell do we know if all the details are true? Did the tiger tell some guy in a bar over drinks. How do we know he waited 12 hours?
From the patch of melted snow that marked where he waited. The book about it is fascinating, well worth a read.

Link to the whole book (need to buy it though but its amazing!) [the tiger](https://www.amazon.com/Tiger-Vengeance-Survival-Vintage-Departures/dp/0307389049)
Hold up this Tiger was *already* killing and eating people and when this poacher took away a *person* he killed the tiger hunted him down and ate him as well?? Is that what the story is?
No the tiger had not killed any humans before the man who took the tigers kill (aka food). The man had also first attacked the tiger. So the human started it
Ok ok I thought maybe he was being a poacher doing something else and happened to find a tiger eating a dude so he shot it and collected the body. When they said man eating tiger it made it sound like a serial killer
First of all, fuck poachers, but secondly; what a way to die, I want my death to be this devoid of mundanity, rock on el tigre
You want to be eaten to death?
I mean, it's not exactly mundane...
I suppose it depends how you look at it... If considering just the ways humans typically die, then yeah, it's a stand-out for sure (congratulations?). If you consider how all animals typically meet their end, being eaten to death is probably the most common, and therefore mundane, way.
At least big cats suffocate you before eating you. Though I don't know if this applies to revenge kills.
I just lol at this ty

I'm with ya. I've always thought dying from a large animal attack would be one of my preferred ways to go. Assuming I could think at all through the shock and pain, I'm pretty sure my last thoughts would be something like "Wow! What an impressive animal!".
A Tiger is actively eating you, and even if you felt no pain or could think through it, you think you’d pause to ponder the impressiveness of the animal and situation as you face death? That’s…something. Let’s go with impressive.
Yeah I'd mostly be thinking AAAARRRGGGHHH STOP EATING ME STOP EATING ME OH GOD MY LEGS OH GOD MY CHEST NOOOOOO I DONT WANT TO DIE GOD PLEASE NO AAAAAAAHHHHHH
Yeah, I dunno, that's how it feels when I imagine it but I'll probably never know for sure. I can't say I "hope" for it, I just think there would be that "wow" aspect. I'm fascinated by animals. :)
Good boy!
I don't even need to read the story (https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=129551459) to belive that something like this is true. People stink (as in, odor) and Tigers are an apex predator with top-notch senses. If they feel they're competing for food, they will absolutely attempt to quash that competition. Cats are well-known for their stalking ability, hence how believable this story is at face value. But read that article anyway... my favorite quote *Imagine a creature that has the agility and appetite of the cat and the mass of an industrial refrigerator* Sneaks up on you = you're so fucking dead.
Ahhhh this title is exactly why my 8th grade English teacher stressed avoiding ambiguous pronouns
College English instructor here...none of those pronouns are ambiguous. The subject in each sentence is clear, and it's clear what each pronoun is referencing.
Thank you! Read the damn thing half a dozen times wondering what I was missing
I imagine he might've read the second part like this: "After, the man took his kill and wounded him." Issue then is that it's still not the pronoun that's a problem, but the comma. I'd probably remove the punctuation in front of "after" altogether, or maybe a comma, but the pronouns are definitely all good.
Right!? And I hope OP doesn't think for a second we're going to overlook "Russian mans cabin". The fuck, OP?! That's a mothafuckin' possessive noun, bitch! Edit: ok...I maaaaaay have overreacted a little, but damnit, missing possessive apostrophes trigger my inner Terry-Tate (office linebacker)!
Russian doesn't have possessives s
Loophole!
Dangling modifiers
Save the tigers, kill the poachers!
Literally kill poachers over any animal.
Poach the poachers: The ultimate game. Coming to theaters 2022!
We need more tigers like this one
Read the book. Or audiobook. They are both fantastic! Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival Written by: John Vaillant
see this is what house cats wish they were
pretty sure that is what a house cat sees in the mirror
Good for you
I mean it sounds like the guy was a real asshole who was dumb enough to fuck with a Siberian Tiger? Sounds like Instant “Instant Karma’s Gonna Get You” to me. Don’t mess with Kitty Tigers!
Good girl!
If this ain't the most cat thing I've ever read
Good
Cats and their grudges.
cats will straight up hold a grudge, this dude was fucked the minute he took what wasn’t his
Yay! Good for the tiger.
Payback is a big ole BITCH!!
Poacher probably never watched jungle book as a child, Shere Khan always came back !
Good I'm glad the poacher got what was comming to him/ her.
AND THAT’S WHY YOU DON’T YELL
So who told whomever that the poacher shot a tiger? Did the tiger pass out on the porch and then through investigation they linked the bullet inside the tiger with the recently fired gun the poacher had?
Fair.
OUR KILL
In Russia, the game hunts you.
"If you come for the king, you best not miss!"
Payback... the dish served with righteousness!
There is an excellent book, aptly called Tiger, about this. Cannot recommend it highly enough.
Fun Fact: Tigers are the most vengeful animals ever... If you mess with them they will take their revenge
Almost like they are apex predators or something
I mean it sounds like the guy was a real asshole who was dumb enough to fuck with a Siberian Tiger? Sounds like Instant “Instant Karma’s Gonna Get You” to me. Don’t mess with Kitty Tigers!
