10 times tourists were killed by wild animals

7. Saltwater Crocodile Attacks Snorkeler

“I wish I could have jumped in front of the croc for Lauren,” said Jito Chadha. “I did everything in my power to save her.”

Lauren Failla and Jito Chadha were snorkeling along a cove off Havelock Island in India’s remote Andaman Island Chain when a 12-foot saltwater crocodile attacked Lauren. The attack was unusual because it took place in open water over a coral reef; crocodiles are typically secretive, preferring to hunt in the refuge of mangroves. Saltwater crocodiles have attacked more than two-dozen people in the Andaman Island Chain over the last quarter century, but none had ever been spotted around Havelock Island.
