Bengal Tiger Pounces On Picknick - 5 Dead
<snip>

FIVE picnickers south of Kathmandu were killed by a Royal Bengal Tiger which is believed to have killed eight other people previously, a home ministry official said today.

Another picnicker managed to save himself by climbing a tree and staying there for several hours, the official said.

"Five picnickers were killed yesterday after being attacked by a man-eating tiger believed to have been on the prowl for humans in the Chitwan district for the past couple of months," the official said.

"The tiger suddenly sprang from nearby Someswar forest and attacked the picnickers, killing five of them on the spot," he said.

1. Bengal tigers are beautiful. I thought only Yogi Bear liked
picnic baskets.

2. If you are gonna picnic on a tiger's turf,
it's only polite to invite the tiger...otherwise they get upset.
