tiger attack

Striped predator strikes

A tiger attack is an instance of a tiger assaulting a human or other animal.

The phrase typically refers to wild tiger encounters in regions where human settlements border tiger habitat, or to incidents involving captive tigers: The village reported three tiger attacks last year.

Tiger attacks on humans are rare but often fatal when they occur.
