When Tigers Attack!

Author Richard Marshall Gaines takes reluctant readers through a series of action-packed, real-life tiger attacks on humans. In stories ranging from the well-known on-stage attack of Roy Horn (of Siegfried and Roy fame) to attacks on picnickers in Nepal, readers will discover what triggers these animals to attack people. Other information on tigers' physical characteristics and behavior, people who keep tigers as pets, and ways to avoid tiger attacks are featured in the text as well as in sidebars and fact boxes.
