6. Two Men Swim Across Moat To Greet Tiger, Only One Comes Back
Shiva the Destroyer is the kind of name for a tiger that you might tend to take seriously, but Prakesh Tiwari and Suresh Rai did not do so when they decided to swim across a moat at the Calcutta Zoo and place a garland around her neck. When Rai threw the garland around the tiger he was, of course, attacked. Tiwari did the heroic thing and stepped up and kicked Shiva in the face. What a tough guy! What a hero! Well, actually no. Shiva did what most tigers do when kicked in the face by a totally dumb human. She killed him. Rai survived. Which is cool enough, of course, it isn’t like people dying makes me happy, but still, going across a moat to put a garland around a tiger’s neck while your buddy kicks her in the face? Really?
5. Man Tries To Fight Lion With Kung Fu
Ellie Quo was an Australian man who considered himself quite an expert at Kung Fu. You may notice that I used the past tense there with the word “was.” No surprise ending here. His instructor told him that he had reached a place in his training where “you can kill wild animals with your bare hands.” So he did what anyone would do, he went to the Melbourne Zoo at night, sneaked in, and jumped in the pit with the lions. Of course, they all ripped him apart. I mean, these are lions! I honestly just really don’t get this kind of thing. Dude, you just jumped into a pit to attack a bunch of lions! What the heck kind of thought process is involved with something like that? He was found in the morning by zookeepers. Well, pieces of him were, anyway.
