Sounds like the tiger planned a good ambush.

That's why you never get out alone. If you take someone else, you only have to out-run the other guy not the tiger...

While stationed in Okinawa I used to assist Mike Ray as his divemaster. Once we had these Canadian school teachers as dive students. One day one of them says to me:
"that's a cool looking dive knife you're wearing, would you use that to fight off Great White sharks?"
I replied:
"No, you think I'm stupid? I'd cut one of you and swim slowly away."
