Tiger attack at Sumatera

Dear readers ;

Yesterday , a man named Cut Hasan ( 48 y.o ) died after being attack by Sumatera's Tiger ( Panthera Tigris Sumatera ). Hasan was a resident of Pucok Village Geumpang at city of Pidie Nangore Aceh Darusallam ( the western most tip of Sumatera island ).

This poor guy was on the way home at Lam Jreu Mountain Sloop from two days ago. Not arriving home, the fellow family search for him and found the dead body left by the tiger. All the meat and skin are no longer left. Only the bone and the full head that not eaten by the tiger.

This attack remind us about the same attack on 21st of March. When one Illegal Logging Crew named Damilus ( 25 y.o ) was attacked by tiger while sleeping in the hut inside the jungle of Barbak Jambi National Park. Damilus also found dead with terrible condition. Only 11 days before the attack, one anonymous man also being attacked by tiger in nearby Jambi area. Lucky for him, the fellow crews was be able to scared away the beast and he only had minor injuries.

Not only single victim, tiger attacks at Sumatera Island sometimes take multiple victims. Last year at 22 February , two man ( Ali 50 y.o and Deri 18 y.o ) killed at Lampung Province inside the River Gelang Ujung Pompa jungle. The third man manage to run away from the hut when the tiger attack and survive.

Many environmental analyst said that the attack happened when human are pushing their border line of life to enter the tigers habitat. Or lack of food that forced tigers to hunt more downhill that they used to.

A few tips to avoid the attack :

1. Avoid their habitat. Listen to locals about the tiger path or they customs.

2. Basically they are rarely attack people, unless they are too ill to hunt their normal preys.

3. Some tribe avoid the attack by wearing a face mask on the back of their heads. Tiger prefers to attack from behind and will think twice when they see the face.

One Fun fact from Wiki :

" Tiger are striped through and through. If you were to shave a tiger, and few ever have, you would see the stripes on the skin "
